Saucy Peanut Chicken Bowls
Directions
- 1Heat toasted sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, or until fully melted if using frozen cubes.
- 2Add the ground chicken to the pan and turn the heat up to medium-high. Use a wooden spoon or meat masher to break up the meat. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is fully cooked and starting to brown.
- 3While the chicken cooks, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, lime juice, honey, and water.
- 4Add the sauce to the skillet with the ground chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- 5Cook the rice according to package directions. Add rice to shallow bowls.
- 6Top with the chicken, cucumber, scallion, cilantro, chopped peanuts, and lime wedges.

Tips
- If you don’t want to make your own sauce, feel free to use 1 jar Trader Joe’s Thai Peanut Satay Sauce! You may need to add water to make it more saucy.
- If the sauce gets too thick, stir in more water. Taste and season with more soy sauce if desired.
