Stir Fry Peanut Butter Chicken

Stir Fried Peanut Butter Chicken

Quick is basically my middle name. (No, seriously, forget what my passport says—sorry, Hanala!). When 5:00 PM hits and everyone is asking, “What’s for dinner?!”, I need recipes that are fast, ridiculously flavor-packed, and guaranteed to get zero complaints from the crowd.

Chicken is the ultimate weeknight hero, but nobody wants the same boring baked chicken breast night after night. So to keep your dinner routine fun, fast, and fabulous, I am sharing a few of the quick chicken “din-dins” I am currently totally crushing on!

SHAWARMA SKILLET DINNER

Pizza and shawarma—not together, of course!—are easily my family’s favorite takeout orders. But if you don’t happen to live right across the street from a legendary spot like Meat Bar (like I do!), don’t worry for a second. You can make incredible, sizzling street-food-style shawarma right in your very own skillet!

Jamie’s Tip: When it’s time to serve, load up your pita with hummus, tahini, Israeli salad, and pickles until it is literally bursting at the seams. That’s the only way to get the true, authentic experience!

I recently had to gently inform Hubby that pickles and olives do not count as a green vegetable. (Spoiler alert: he is still actively disputing this fact!). But debate aside, we always win big when we throw briny, delicious green olives into a chicken dinner. Kids love the salty punch, and it elevates a simple skillet into a total flavor party.

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN STIR FRY

I am a total sucker for a rich, velvety peanut butter sauce. I love it like a bad romance, you guys—I just can’t stay away! This stir-fry is sweet, savory, wildly delicious, and comes together in a flash. It is an absolute dream of a chicken dinner when you want takeout vibes without the wait.

LIME CHICKEN TENDERS

Super quick prep and an even quicker cook time make these coconut-lime tenders an absolute #1 winner-winner chicken dinner! The combination of zesty lime and tropical coconut gives you that bright, sunshine flavor that makes weeknight cooking feel like an absolute breeze.
