Step 1
Start by mixing the sugar and dry seasonings together in a small bowl. In a separate measuring cup, combine the peanut sauce, coconut milk, and broth. Next, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, then gently pound them until they’re about half an inch thick. Toss the chicken pieces with the oil in a medium bowl, making sure they’re well coated. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.

Step 2
Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it’s really hot. Add the chicken and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 3
Pour the peanut sauce mixture into the same skillet and cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces by about half, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes. Pour the sauce back into the measuring cup and set aside. (You can make the chicken and sauce up to 2 hours ahead and just warm them up when you’re ready to serve.)

Step 4
When you’re ready to eat, cut each chicken piece into 12 to 15 bite-sized chunks and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle a little of the peanut sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts and scallions. Serve right away with toothpicks and the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
