Pepper and Peanut Chicken
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 15g butter
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 500g chicken thigh fillets, sliced ***
- 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp light soya sauce
- 3 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 medium red pepper, chopped
- 1 medium green pepper, chopped
- 250g bean sprouts
Instructions
- Combine oil, butter, garlic and onion in a large shallow dish, cook on HIGH for 3 minutes.
- Stir in chicken, cover, cook on HIGH for 3 minutes. Stir in combined peanut butter, cardamom, cumin, soya sauce, honey and lime juice, cover, cook on HIGH for 3 minutes; stir once during cooking.
- Stir in peppers, cook on HIGH for 1 minute. Serve with the bean sprouts.
Notes
I have substituted the meat from a BBQ chicken in place of the thigh fillets and I omit the bean sprouts and serve with steamed rice. Using cooked chicken, I omit the “cook for 3 mins” step re the chicken as it is already cooked. I find the BBQ chicken gives the meal a lovely flavour and texture.

Yum! I love the look of these recipes!
I was desperately searching for a recipe I made a few weeks back that was a warm Moroccan chicken salad that had crunchy chickpeas in it. It was so delicious but I can’t find it again, I’m sure it was on your site. Does anyone remember if it was from here?
It took me all afternoon but I found the recipe I was looking for!!
I’m going to try that pepper and peanut chicken too!
Mel that sounds delicious! I haven’t got a Moroccan Chicken recipe but sounds yum especially with Chick peas.:)
That looks so easy and delicious. Like a version of a satay sauce (my mum uses peanut butter in hers) 🙂
