INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 7 fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

What to Drink?

Wine Riesling

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until chicken starts to turn white. Add the onion, mushrooms, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the tomatoes and chicken stock into the skillet, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in peanut butter, and cook stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This should only take a minute or two. If the sauce is not thickening, you may stir in more peanut butter.
