Creating the High-Protein Thai Peanut Chicken Bowl is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Combine Sauce and Chicken: Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Prepare the Base: While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare your cooked brown rice or quinoa in separate bowls.
7. Serve the Bowl: Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the rice or quinoa.
8. Garnish: Top with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
