– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup coconut milk
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

Creating Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, honey, rice vinegar, red curry paste, lime juice, garlic, and ginger.
5. Mix Well: Stir continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy over low heat.
6. Reintroduce Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. If you like it spicier, add crushed red pepper flakes at this stage.
7. Simmer: Allow the dish to simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts.
9. Serve: Serve the Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken over jasmine rice or rice noodles for a complete meal.

With these clear steps, you will create a delicious dish that will leave everyone asking for seconds!
