Peanut Chicken with Red Peppers & Rice!

This is one of my fave simple recipes to make. So easy and it’s delicious.

Ingredients (I recommend using organic when possible):

2 med organic chicken breasts (sliced in small pieces/or cubed)

1 large Julienne cut organic red pepper

2 finely chopped shallots

3 or 4 cloves garlic (diced)

Dash of salt, pepper, Mrs Dash salt-free Original Seasoning

Peanut Sauce:

4 TBs soy sauce (you can use light if you prefer)

1 TB white vinegar

1 TB corn starch

1 Tsp brown sugar

1 TB creamy peanut butter

Mix the sauce ingredients together well before adding

In a large, deep skillet, put 2 TBs cooking oil. Add in shallots and garlic on medium heat until caramelized. Add in the chicken breast pieces. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and some Mrs.Dash seasoning. Don’t add a lot of salt because the soy sauce/peanut sauce will have enough.  Allow to cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Cover the skillet and lower heat.  Image

Once the chicken is cooked, add in the bell peppers. Cover skillet again and allow peppers to cook. Stir occasionally. Simmer for about 10 minutes.Image

Add in the soy sauce/peanut sauce to chicken and peppers. The sauce will thicken quickly. Keep adding water until you find the consistency you want. I used about 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.Image

Now, doesn’t that look yummers? The wonderful peanuty flavor and sweet red peppers is divine. You can eat this dish plain or with rice.  I chose to eat it with rice. I’m Filipino, come on,now. You gotta have the rice!  🙂 Image
