Tender pieces of marinated chicken breast are stir-fried, then coated in a luxuriously creamy peanut sauce. Make this easy Thai Peanut Chicken in a snap; even on your busiest weeknights!
Marinade the chicken in soy sauce, sesame oil and salt for about 15 mins. (Allow the chicken to marinade while you prepare the sauce).
Pour the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar and Thai Red Curry Paste (if using) in a small saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly using heat-resistant spatula.
When the sauce begins to thicken, remove from heat.
Heat cooking oil in a wok over high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the wok in a single layer. Allow the chicken to sear for about 30 seconds before flipping them over, then stir-frying till they are fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the wok and place in a large bowl.
Pour 2 - 3 tablespoons of the peanut sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat.
Serve immediately over steamed rice, with the remaining sauce on the side.
Garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro and julienned carrots.
