One Pan Creamy Thai Peanut Chicken Couscous

Step 1

Place a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and add in oil. Once hot, add the chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook, about 5-7 minutes total. You don’t need to cook chicken all the way, just about halfway through so it’s nice and golden brown with flavor. Transfer chicken to a bowl or plate and set aside.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the garlic, cooking for 30 seconds, then add in the coconut milk, chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger and chili paste to the same skillet. Whisk together until well combined and smooth. Stir in the couscous, carrots, broccoli and bell pepper; then add the chicken back into the pan; bring to a simmer. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent couscous from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

After 15 minutes, remove the lid and gently simmer for 5-10 more minutes uncovered to soak up any excess liquid.

Step 4

Garnish with chopped honey-roasted peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. Serves 4.
