Ingredients

Scale

STIR FRY-

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 medium onion [sliced]
  • 1 red bell pepper 
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup broccoli 
  • Salt and Pepper 
  • 2–3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups cooked rice [brown or white]
  • Cilantro and peanuts for garnish

HOMEMADE THAI PEANUT SAUCE- [or store bought]

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter [chunky is best]
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds [optional]
  • 1/4–1/2 cup warm water for consistency

Instructions

PEANUT SAUCE- [if making]

  1. Add all ingredients and blender and process until desired consistency. Set aside.

STIR FRY-

  1. Rinse and trim chicken breasts. Place in gallon ziplock bag and seal tightly so there is NO AIR in the bag. Using a meat tenderizer or heavy saucepan, pound to flatten chicken breasts.
  2. Cut thin chicken breasts into small pieces. 
  3. Heat approx 1-2 Tbls olive oil in large saute pan or Wok over medium heat. Once heated, add chicken pieces and saute until cooked thoroughly.  
  4. While chicken is cooking, slice vegetables into thin strips approx. the same size. When chicken is cooked, place cooked chicken in another bowl and set aside.
  5. Using the same pan as for the chicken, add a tablespoon of olive oil and a splash of water. Add broccoli to the pan first as it takes the longest. Cover with lid and saute until al dente. [Add more water or chicken broth a tablespoon at a time if needed to prevent burning the broccoli.]
  6. Add remaining vegetables to the broccoli and saute until soft. Stirring occasionally.
  7. Add chicken to the saute pan and stir to mix. 
  8. Warm up the rice. 
  9. Serve stir fry over rice. Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish with peanuts and cilantro.
  10. Enjoy with chopsticks and friends:)
