Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic and ginger.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook chicken pieces in a single layer for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes until smooth.
  4. Pour the creamy peanut sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir gently and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and optional cilantro. Serve over jasmine rice or noodles.
