Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 small bag broccoli
- 1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
- Freshly chopped cilantro for garnish
For the peanut sauce
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Preheat a large pan to medium heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot add the chicken and cook for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Meanwhile make the peanut sauce. To a blender add all the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. If you like a runnier consistency then feel free to add a tiny bit of cold water until you've reached your desired consistency.
- Once the chicken is cooked, turn the heat to low and pour about 1/2 of the peanut sauce over the chicken and mix well. Set the rest of the sauce aside for later. Finally, add the roasted peanuts and incorporate.
- To each container add some rice, peanut chicken, and broccoli. Top the chicken with a drizzle of the peanut sauce as well as some freshly chopped cilantro.
