4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts (cubed)

  • 1 head broccoli (cut into florets)
  • Chopped peanuts and sesame seeds (to serve)

Thai Peanut Sauce

  • ½ cup all-natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 1 ½ limes)
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic (very finely minced)
  • 1 inch piece of ginger (very finely minced)

    ½ cup all-natural peanut butter, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons red curry paste, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic, 1 inch piece of ginger, ¾ cup water
  • Add the bell peppers and broccoli to the skillet. Let them cook until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pan and pour the peanut sauce over the top. Bring the sauce to a boil so that it thickens slightly and coats the chicken and veggies.
