The first Thai dish I ever made at home was chicken and broccoli in a peanut sauce. Thai Peanut Chicken & Broccoli has been a favorite ever since. It is a quick and easy stir-fry with bold flavor and it comes together in about 30 minutes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
I do this in three steps so there are only one dirty frying pan and one dirty serving bowl. No one likes washing dishes. First, I cook the chicken and transfer that to a serving bowl. Next, I steam the veggies and then add them to the serving bowl. Last, I made the sauce in the same pan and add back the chicken and veggies to the sauce.
I used Honeyville Organic Peanut Butter Powder as the base for my peanut sauce. It has a ton of flavor with a lot less fat than regular peanut butter. It works well in both sweet and savory applications. I used it to make Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies a couple months ago. Those got rave reviews from my girlfriends.
You can visit Honeyville by clicking here. They are a great family owned company that sells high-quality products. I am happy to work with them. They sell bulk amounts of many pantry items making them cost-effective.

This sounds yummy but instead of the peanutbutter powder can you subsittute jar peanut butter like jif or Skippy ? I know they contsib sugar and this would not be a true keto friendly alternative

Sure

I mean....”sauce”. (Sigh)

The sausage is thick.....I had to keep adding water! But, yet, you said nothing about that. The soy sauce sure wasn’t enough to make this saucy. Please explain. Thanks.

Well, I like my peanut sauce thick. You can absolutely thin it out if you prefer it thinner. It's a matter of preference. I was able to coat the chicken and broccoli with it.

Can you substitute pb2 for the powered peanut butter you are suggesting? Looks yummy!
Thanks!
