Ingredients

Scale

For the Peanut Sauce

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk from can, stirred well
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or fish sauce
  • 1 ½ packed tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
  • 1 cup prepared peanut sauce (from above)
  • Lime wedges, peanuts, green onions, and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. For the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  2. To Marinate the Chicken: Coat chicken thighs with some of the peanut sauce, reserving some for later. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  3. To Broil the Chicken: Preheat broiler. Broil marinated chicken until cooked through, about 6 minutes.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
