Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, peanut butter, white wine vinegar, cayenne pepper, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Sear chicken in batches, until golden on each side, about 2 minutes per side (it won't be cooked through the center). Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic and ginger. Continue to cook for another minute, until they're fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli, green onions, peanuts, and soy sauce/peanut butter sauce.
  • Add the coconut milk and cilantro, and stir to combine. Continue to simmer until the broccoli is tender and the chicken has cooked through entirely, about 5 minutes.
  • Dish with additional cilantro, peanuts, and green onions, over cauliflower rice or rice. Enjoy!
