How was your weekend? Is it really Monday already? The weekend just goes by way too fast. It’s Saturday morning and you’re thinking oh this is nice, I still have Sunday. Then all of the sudden it’s Sunday night and you’re like crap, tomorrow is Monday. Such is life.
I have some good news for you. Well actually, it’s a good recipe for you. It’s definitely good news for those of you who enjoy a little Asian flare. This recipe is via Coach Nicole at Spark People. Which means it’s healthy too! Always a bonus when you like something AND it’s not sky high with calories.
I’m a bad food blogger. I didn’t take many pictures and the ones that I did take are very dark. It was a late night, what can I say. Natural light is very hard to come by when you’re eating dinner at 8:00. So please enjoy the one halfway decent picture that I have for you. 🙂
My family LOVED this chicken. You’ve probably gotten to know a little about my family by now (they’re picky) and so you know that this is big! The only real complaint I have with this sauce recipe is that it doesn’t make very much. I would definitely suggest that you double it if you’re feeding a family of 4. Also, you’ll want to make sure and eat it soon after making it. I placed the sauce in my crockpot while we went to the Y and when we came back it had kinda thickened up in consistency.
This meal came together really fast. No really, it was extremely quick to make. Browning the chicken was the most time-consuming step. And you know how fast you can brown up bite-size pieces of chicken.
Isn’t it nice to learn from someone else’s mistakes?
| Easy Peanut Chicken |
- 1/4 c. Peanut Butter (creamy)
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (low-sodium is best)
- 1-2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1/8 tsp Ground Ginger (optional)
- 1/3 c. Warm Water
- 2 Fresh Chicken Breasts, Cut into bite-size pieces
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and cook until browned.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Pour over chicken and heat through.
- Serve over rice!
Like I said in the post, I would suggest doubling the recipe. I also added a little bit more water (maybe 2 tbsp) to make it just a little runnier. You can adjust that to your liking.
If you like a little crunch, you can also add a few peanuts to your chicken in the end.
This would also be very tasty with tofu, veggies, or just plain pasta!
