Description

A quick and delicious Thai Peanut Chicken Bowl recipe that combines tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy peanut sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

1½ lb (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
3 cups cooked rice or cooked cauliflower rice
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
1 large carrot, shredded or thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets (or shredded cabbage)
1 cup shredded red cabbage (optional)
¼ cup chopped green onions
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Lime wedges (optional)
½ cup creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust heat)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
3–4 tbsp warm water (to thin sauce)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, lightly sauté broccoli and peppers just until bright and tender (2–3 minutes). Remove and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar (or lime juice), sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Gradually add warm water (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach a smooth, pourable sauce.
Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top with chicken, sautéed veggies, shredded carrots, and cabbage (if using). Drizzle generously with Thai peanut sauce. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime over each bowl if desired.

Notes

Add crunchy roasted peanuts or cashews for extra texture.
Top with sesame seeds for added flavor.
Serve with a side of pickled cucumbers or quick slaw.
Store sauce separately to keep veggies crisp.
