Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Chicken breast can become dry if overcooked, so add the sauce and stir-fry while the juices are still moist.
  • Sweet pumpkin breaks easily when stir-fried in the sauce, so cook it slightly firm initially and handle gently when mixing with the sauce.
  • If using regular peanut butter instead of unsweetened, slightly reduce the amount of honey to adjust sweetness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy chicken breast in a new and moist way.
  • Those who love the harmony of peanut butter's richness and sweet-salty sauce.
  • Those who want to make an impressive main dish using sweet pumpkin and chicken.
