Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts Diced
- 200 g Peanut Butter
- 400 ml Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1 Onion Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Coriander For garnish
- Peanuts For garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and stir to coat with the peanut sauce.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the peanut butter chicken over steamed rice and garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
Notes
You can also add some chopped peanuts on top for extra crunch and texture.
Be sure to stir the peanut butter sauce frequently while it simmers to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
For a vegetarian version of this dish, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or chickpeas.
Make sure to use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and flavour.
