Creating One Pan Thai Peanut Coconut Chicken is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.

3. Add Veggies: Toss in the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Make Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, lime juice, and chili paste until smooth.
