Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts fresh, high-quality
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 limes zest and juice fresh
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2-3 Tbsp peanut butter smooth or crunchy
  • 1-2 red chillies finely chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

  4. Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, drizzle with extra olive oil, and serve hot with lime wedges or chopped herbs.
