Cooking Steps

  • Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, lime juice, and sriracha. Set aside.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add Vegetables: Incorporate the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Combine with Sauce: Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the heat by adding more sriracha if desired. Mix well.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
  • Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
