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.

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.
