Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Ensure an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) is reached. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

While the chicken cooks, pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork. Microwave until tender, approximately 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Allow to cool, then dice into bite-sized pieces. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Add the diced sweet potato, mini peppers, red onion, zucchini, and chopped garlic to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Incorporate the cooked chicken and peanut sauce into the vegetable mixture. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well combined and heated through, approximately 3 minutes. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately.

Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on your preferences and what's in season. Broccoli florets, snap peas, or carrots would be excellent additions.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a tablespoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of grated ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for added texture and visual appeal.
Serve over brown rice or quinoa for a more complete meal.
