Denise's Peanut Chicken

By: NEECEEWAGS 
"This wonderful recipe is a family favorite of ours - and we have 3 very young children! Everyone who enjoys this recipe always asks what restaurant we ordered it from! It is fast and simple to make. I would say it's a bit like a stir fry with a Thai flavor! Serve on top of cooked brown or classic white rice. Very good with a simple side like mandarin oranges to complete this meal"

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon wok oil or peanut oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped dry roasted peanuts

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Place chicken in the wok, and cook until juices run clear. Mix in red bell pepper, and continue cooking until tender.
  2. In a bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper, ginger, and cornstarch. Pour into the wok. Toss green onions and cilantro into wok (reserving some of each for garnish).
