Ingredients

Chicken

1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup coconut cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
Zest of 1 Sumo Citrus
1/4 cup fresh Sumo Citrus juice
2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado/canola), for cooking

Peanut–Sumo Citrus Sauce

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2–3 tbsp fresh Sumo Citrus juice
1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
2–4 tbsp warm water, to thin
Optional: 1/2 tsp chili crisp or sriracha

To serve (optional)

Cooked rice or rice noodles
Sliced cucumber and/or shredded cabbage
Chopped cilantro
Sumo Citrus wedges

Instructions

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk coconut cream, Sumo Citrus zest and juice, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate 15–30 minutes (or up to 4 hours refrigerated).
Make the sauce: Whisk peanut butter, Sumo Citrus juice, soy sauce, and honey until smooth. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until a pourable dipping-sauce consistency. Stir in chili crisp/sriracha if using.
Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
Serve: Plate with rice/noodles (or lettuce cups), drizzle or serve with peanut–Sumo Citrus sauce on the side, and finish with cilantro and Sumo Citrus wedges.
