Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
Peanut sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- ½ lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onion, red pepper and broccoli and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add the chicken to the pan with ½ teaspoon of salt and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or container. Once mixed together, pour into the pan with the chicken and vegetables.
- Allow the stir fry and sauce to simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. If the sauce appears too runny, create a slurry by combining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, flour or arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water and pour this into the pan to help thicken the sauce.
- Turn off heat and serve over rice or noodles. Enjoy!

Notes
- Switch up the vegetables. Cauliflower, zucchini, snow peas and asparagus are all great options. Feel free to even use a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables to make this recipe even easier.
- Swap out the protein. Make it a shrimp or tofu stir fry instead.
- More ingredient swaps. If you don't have limes at home, use fresh lemon juice or rice vinegar instead. Brown sugar or even maple syrup can be used in place of the honey.
- Use store-bought peanut sauce if you are in a real pinch for time!
