Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 red bell pepper (diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cup instant brown rice (uncooked)
1 package coleslaw mix
2 green onions (sliced)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Cook instant brown rice according to package directions. Set aside.
While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bell pepper is slightly tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture in the skillet and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
To serve, divide the cooked instant brown rice among bowls. Top with the peanut chicken stir-fry. Add a generous portion of coleslaw mix to each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro.

Notes

This dish reheats well for future meals. If desired, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
