  • Step by Step Instructions 📝

    1. Sauté the Chicken: Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

    2. Add the Veggies: Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

    3. Incorporate Curry: Stir in the red curry paste and peanut butter, mixing well to coat the chicken and veggies.

    4. Simmer the Sauce: Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.

    5. Serve: Once the curry is ready, serve it over a bed of jasmine rice. Garnish with roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro for a pop of color and crunch. Enjoy your flavorful meal!
