honey peanut chicken.
Here’s what I love about stir frys: You kinda can’t mess them up. Unless, of course, you forget some major ingredient like garlic or chicken. In that case you might just need to pick up the phone and call for takeout. But don’t do that, because it costs way more than making it at home for $5.39. Just follow this easy recipe, which doesn’t have many ingredients anyway so you should be good to go. Enjoy!
Honey Peanut Chicken
(serves 4)
What You’ll Need:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 pounds), cubed ($2.98 at $1.99/lb)
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce ($.21 at $.07/tablespoon)
2 tablespoons honey ($.34 at $.17/tablespoon)
juice from one lime ($.25 per)
1 clove minced garlic ($.03 at $.03 per clove)
1.5 tablespoons natural peanut butter ($.10 at $1.69/jar)
1/2 teaspoons curry powder (trace)
Pre-cooked veggies (I used green beans, about a half pound) ($1.00 at $1.99/lb)
Brown rice ($.48 at $.99/lb)
Instructions
Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl, then add chicken and marinate 1-2 hours.
Cook chicken in the marinade over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Reduce heat and add any precooked veggies (green beans, zucchini, broccoli, etc) until cooked through. Serve on top of cooked brown rice.
TOTAL: $5.39 or $1.35 per serving.

YUM! I’m totally making this. My girls will love it! Plus, I have zucchini about ready in my garden!
Jeremy loves stir-fry and I love the p.b. and soy sauce combo. I don’t happen to have any curry powder in my pantry (shame on me). Is there a substitute? Or can I leave it out?
I can’t think of a substitute off hand so I’d just leave it out…or come over to my house. I’ve got tons of it. Seriously.
I’m probably going to take you up on that the next time I see you since I just went to Henry’s today and forgot to grab some! On another note, is there a way to print just the recipe from your post(s)? I’m trying to get organized.
I made this last night and it was so yummy! I topped it with shredded carrots, cilantro and green onions and they really brought out the flavors. I think some shredded coconut would be good on it, too.
Oh yum! I bet the added toppings were great! So glad you enjoyed it.
