Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
