Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 4 cups broccoli slaw
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of chicken breast, 4 cups of broccoli slaw, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of ginger (minced), 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and chopped peanuts for garnish.
- Prepare the chicken breast by slicing it into thin strips. This will help it cook quickly and evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
- In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will be your sauce for the stir fry.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the chicken.
- Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli slaw to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the slaw is tender but still crisp.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and broccoli slaw mixture. Toss everything together to ensure the sauce evenly coats the chicken and slaw. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Taste the stir fry and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or honey to taste.
- Serve the Peanut Chicken Broccoli Slaw Stir Fry hot, garnished with chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Prep is Key: Have all ingredients chopped and measured before you start cooking. Stir fries move quickly, so being prepared prevents burning or overcooking.
- High Heat, Quick Cooking: Use a wok or large skillet and keep the heat at medium-high. This ensures your chicken gets a nice sear and your broccoli slaw stays crisp.
- Slice Chicken Uniformly: Cut chicken into thin, even strips to guarantee consistent cooking and maximum sauce absorption.
- Don't Overcook the Slaw: Add broccoli slaw towards the end of cooking to maintain its crunchy texture and vibrant color.
- Customize Your Sauce: Feel free to adjust the peanut butter, honey, and soy sauce ratios to suit your taste preferences.
- Garnish Generously: The chopped peanuts aren't just decoration—they add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that elevates the entire dish.
