Instructions
Creating Thai Peanut Chicken Buddha Bowls is incredibly simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sriracha, and enough water to reach your desired consistency.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
4. Prepare the Base: In individual bowls, layer cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base.
5. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Top the rice or quinoa with sliced chicken and sautéed vegetables.
6. Drizzle Peanut Sauce: Generously pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onion and sesame seeds (if using) on top to add a final touch of flavor and presentation.
