You’ll have no problem getting your family to finish their broccoli with this tangy peanut sauce served alongside.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1″ pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
½ cup creamy natural unsalted peanut butter
1⁄3 cup gluten-free barbecue sauce
1 chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
5 tablespoons water, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1. In a large bowl, toss the chicken, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic, and salt until well mixed. Let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, barbecue sauce, chile pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the water until smooth. Set aside.
3. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Cook the chicken for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
4. Wipe out the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and add the broccoli and the remaining 2 tablespoons water. Cover and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and toss to coat. Serve the chicken and broccoli with the sauce.
