Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown rice
3 tbsps soy sauce
1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsps natural creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
4 tsps minced garlic
1 tbsp ground ginger
3/4 cup green onions, chopped
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 medium red bell pepper
1/4 cup dry & roasted salted peanuts

Directions

Cook rice until tender. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add cut chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium, and add green onion, broccoli, red pepper strips, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice.
Note: if you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.
