Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon of peanut sauce for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the remaining peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
