Chicken Strips with Quick Peanut-Lime Sauce and Cucumber

Quick & Easy

Fast-seared chicken strips with a creamy peanut-lime sauce and crisp cucumber on the side.

Why smarter

Chicken strips cook quickly in a hot pan (about 7–9 minutes). Sauce is no-cook and comes together by whisking with water in 1–2 minutes. Cucumber slicing and quick seasoning fit easily into the prep time; total 19 minutes includes pan preheat and plating.

Chef tip

If the sauce seizes, add water 1 tsp at a time and whisk until silky; keep it loose so it coats the chicken easily. Shortcut: Use pre-cut chicken strips; use smooth store-bought peanut butter.
