Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped peanuts
  • Cooked white rice, for serving
  • Fresh lime wedges, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the peanut sauce.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook chicken slices until cooked through and golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Pour the peanut sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Add the diced mango to the skillet, gently combining it with the peanut chicken mixture.
  4. Add the chopped peanuts and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  5. To serve, place a generous portion of cooked white rice onto plates. Top with the peanut chicken and mango mixture.
  6. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

Ensure the peanut sauce is well-mixed to achieve a creamy and consistent texture. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your taste preferences. For a touch of freshness, squeeze additional lime juice over the dish just before serving. Experiment with different protein sources like tofu or shrimp to make it your own. Enjoy!
