Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 cup water (or chicken broth)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Chopped peanuts and sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and water (or chicken broth) until well combined. Set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

      Stir-Fry the Veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the minced garlic and ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the chopped white parts of the green onions. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over a bed of rice or noodles. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions, chopped peanuts, and sesame seeds if desired.
