Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil.
  3. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onions until soft and translucent.
  6. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  7. Lower the heat and stir in the peanut butter, adding a splash of water or broth to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
  9. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld, then serve hot.
