The Actual Easiest 15 Minute Saucy Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl
7 mins prepServes 4
The actual easiest 15 minute meal that you can probably make with ingredients you have on hand already! I served this delicious saucy peanut chicken in a rice bowl, but it would also be incredible served as a saucy noodle dish. You can’t go wrong!
Heat toasted sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute. (If using the frozen cubes, cook until fully melted.) Add 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. While the chicken cooks, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, lime juice, honey, and water. Add the sauce to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. If it gets too thick, stir in more water. Taste and season with more soy sauce if desired. Cook the rice according to package directions. Add rice to shallow bowls, then top with the chicken, cucumber, scallion, cilantro, chopped peanuts, and lime wedges.
