Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet, sauté for approximately 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk until smooth.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat thoroughly with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve hot, garnishing with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro and pairing with jasmine rice or noodles.
