Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ cup unsweetened light coconut milk

  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

  • 5 teaspoons sriracha sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 4 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken breast

  • 2 cups thinly sliced red bell pepper

  • 1 cup thinly bias-sliced carrots

  • 1 cup fresh snow pea pods

  • 5 ⅓ tablespoons sesame oil

Directions

  1. Whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, peanut butter, sriracha, and lime juice in a large bowl. Add chicken, red bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas; toss to coat.

  2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add chicken mixture; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

To freeze chicken: After Step 1, divide mixture evenly between two 1-gallon resealable plastic freezer bags. Freeze up to 4 months. To serve, thaw 1 or both bags at room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes. Continue with Step 2. If only heating 1 batch, use 4 teaspoons sesame oil.
