Instructions
- Whisk 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons water, and 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced scallion whites, 2 teaspoons minced serrano, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 2 teaspoons minced garlic; cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add 1 pound chicken; cook, breaking it up with a spoon or potato masher, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
