Instructions
Creating your own Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and chop all vegetables. Set them aside for later use.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
3. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about one minute until fragrant.
4. Combine Vegetables: Toss in the bell pepper, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp but still vibrant.
5. Prepare Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Finish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.
8. Plate Up: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Following these steps will ensure that your Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry comes out perfectly every time.
