Sticky peanut butter chicken is a quick and flavourful dish that offers a twist on traditional satay chicken. The recipe involves cooking basmati rice and then stir-frying chicken breast coated with curry powder and chilli flakes. The chicken is then simmered in a mixture of light peanut butter, honey and soy sauce. Lime zest and juice, green shallots, salt, and pepper are added to the dish before serving with rice, fresh coriander, and lime wedges.
