Ingredients
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 6 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoon chili paste such as sambal oelek
- 25 ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except the chicken, salt, and pepper to a tall container.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients, ensuring that the sauce has a smooth consistency throughout. Set aside until needed.
- Cube the chicken thighs and season to taste. Don't use too much salt, as the peanut sauce already contains salt from the soy sauce.
- Heat a dry pan over high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sauté for about a minute.
- There should be quite a lot of excess moisture coming out of the chicken — simply pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Continue cooking the chicken (and removing any excess moisture) until well browned.
- Once browned and cooked through, remove the pan from the heat. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and mix well to combine.
- Serve and enjoy!
