Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pcs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 0.25 cup peanut butter (natural no sugar added)
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 pcs large garlic clove (grated)

Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate the chicken with salt and set aside. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add water, peanut butter, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the peanut butter.
  3. Return the chicken to the skillet, simmer until cooked through and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
  4. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice. Serve over rice with the sauce poured over.
