instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili paste, and coconut milk. Add minced ginger and garlic, mix until combined. Add the chicken pieces and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare your vegetables. Chop the green onion and roughly chop the coriander.

    3

    Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if needed. Once hot, add the marinated chicken along with the marinade to the pan.

    4

    Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and browned.

    5

    Once the chicken is done, squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander.

    6

    Serve hot over rice or noodles.
