Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and coconut milk until smooth.
Pour the peanut sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro before serving.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
Adjust the spice level by increasing or omitting the red pepper flakes.
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables.
