Looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s bursting with flavour? Look no further than my homemade Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry! Tender chicken pieces are stir-fried and coated in a mouthwatering peanut sauce. Plus, it’s a healthy meal you can whip up in under 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy nights. I like to serve it with rice and fresh crunchy textures with cucumbers, coriander, fresh chilli, crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Turn the heat off, and stir through the peanut sauce. Add 2-3 more tbsp of water to loosen the sauce if required. Serve with rice, cucumbers, coriander, fresh chilli, crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
Notes
MAKE AHEAD – This dish is best made fresh, but you can prepare the chicken in advance to make this an extra speedy dinner.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until piping hot. Add a 1-2 tbsp of water to loosen the sauce if needed. Not suitable for freezing.

I used this sauce recipe tonight with pork mince, red capsicum, carrot and broccoli. Tossed in some hokkien noodles. Was absolutely beautiful – the best I’ve made from scratch ever. Thanks Nic ☺️

You absolutely could! Because this dish is cooked nice and quickly, the chicken breast would remain perfectly juicy and delicious – Thank you for mentioning this! I have added it as a substitution to the recipe! 😍 x

Made this for dinner last night and I think it’s one of my favourites so far! The coriander and lime really elevate the flavours too 🤤.
