Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1/4 cup almond butter

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha

  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced

  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced

  • 1 zucchini, cut into narrow strips

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Directions

  • Combine almond butter, coconut milk, chicken broth, rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, black pepper, white pepper, and Sriracha in a bowl and stir to blend. Set sauce aside.


  • Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels, and season lightly with salt and pepper.


  • Heat vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot oil until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.


  • In the same skillet, add red bell pepper slices and shallots. Cook and stir continuously, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini strips and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.


  • Return chicken to the skillet, add sauce, and stir to combine chicken with the other ingredients. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes.


  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro and sliced almonds. Serve with lime wedges.

    Cook’s Note

    Coconut aminos are a soy-free, one-to-one substitute for soy sauce, not quite as strong in flavor, and a little sweeter. They are usually found with the condiments or in the Asian food aisle of the grocery store. If you use soy sauce, and want the flavor to be more like coconut aminos, add a pinch of white sugar.
