Cooking Steps
  1. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces and sear until golden-brown and firm.
  3. Stir in onions and sauté until translucent.
  4. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Reduce heat to low and whisk in peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.
