Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped red cabbage
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons sriracha adjust to taste

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the peanut sauce ingredients until smooth. Add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  5. Drizzle the peanut sauce generously over each bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
