Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breast skinless, boneless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Stir Fry
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
For the Peanut Butter Sauce
- ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast into 1 inch pieces and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add the egg and toss to coat.
- In a separate shallow bowl, add the cornstarch and then add the egg coated chicken pieces. (let the excess egg mixture drip off as you add it to the cornstarch).
- Add oil to a non-stick skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until no longer pink on the inside and crispy and golden brown on the outside. (the internal temperature should reach 145° F with a meat thermometer).
- Remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
- In the same skillet, heat the additional oil and add the diced bell pepper and ginger. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring often,
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sauce ingredients.
- Pour over the chicken and peppers and stir to combine and heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has warmed. To thin the sauce, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired thickness.
- Serve over rice and garnish with sesame and sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Swap the red bell peppers for green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, carrots, or a combination of stir-fried veggies.2. Use crunchy peanut butter for texture.3. Although the flavor is a little milder, almond butter can be used in place of peanut butter if you need to make for anyone with a peanut allergy. 4. To make this gluten-free, swap the soy sauce for coconut aminos or tamari.5. For extra heat, toss in some red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha or other favorite hot sauce.6. Use coconut milk instead of water in the sauce.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Allow to cool down and freeze in an airtight container for 1 month.
- Reheat in the microwave until heated through.
