Delicious Peanut Butter Chicken Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
3
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 pound chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

    Ensure the chicken is uniform in size for even cooking.
  2. Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, and coconut milk until smooth.

    Adjust the consistency with more coconut milk if necessary.
  3. Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Pour the peanut sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly.

    Simmer for about 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
  5. Serve

    Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired and serve hot.

    Pair with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
