Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 pound chicken breast (, cut into 2 inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 4 baby bok choy (, cut into quarters)
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
  • For serving: steamed rice ((optional))

Instruction

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes until the water has cooked off and carrots have started to soften.
  • Add the bok choy to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes more, until both bok choy and carrots are cooked through. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a plate and cover.
  • Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  • Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over high heat. Season the chicken generously and add to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the peanut sauce. Place the ginger, garlic, peanut butter, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of water in a food processor; blend until smooth. Add more water to further thin the sauce if desired.
  • Return the vegetables to the pan with the chicken and cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Top with chopped peanuts and serve.
