Creating the High-Protein Thai Peanut Chicken Bowl is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
