Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast Sliced into thin pieces for quick cooking.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Adds crunch and nutrients.
  • 1 red bell pepper Sliced to enhance color and flavor.
  • 1 carrot Julienned for extra texture and sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Ideal for frying the chicken and vegetables.
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic Provides aromatic depth to the dish.
  • salt and pepper To season the chicken perfectly.
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa Serves as the wholesome base of your bowls.

Method
 

  1. Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions, then set aside once fluffy and ready.
  2. In a bowl, mix creamy peanut butter with soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and sriracha. Whisk until smooth, adjusting with water to reach your preferred consistency.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper before adding it to the skillet; cook for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and is no longer pink.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked through, add minced garlic along with broccoli florets, bell pepper slices, and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  5. Pour your prepared peanut sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly until each piece is well-coated in that luscious sauce; allow it to cook an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. In serving bowls, layer a generous portion of cooked brown rice or quinoa at the bottom. Top it off with your vibrant peanut chicken and vegetable mixture.
  7. For an added touch of freshness and crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro over each bowl before serving.
