Creating the High-Protein Thai Peanut Chicken Bowl can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook until veggies are tender but crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Serve Over Quinoa or Rice: Place a serving of cooked quinoa or brown rice in a bowl. Top with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
7. Garnish: Finish with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for added crunch.

Following these steps will lead you to an incredible meal that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
