Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 12 lbs boneless chicken thighs, bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 inch gingerroot, minced
  • 12 teaspoon minced garlic (I use the stuff that comes in the jar)
  • 12 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 14 cup soy sauce
  • 12 cup chicken stock (veggie stock works too)
  • 12 tablespoon chili paste (more or less to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 bunch green onion, sliced on diagonal half inch pieces (greens and whites)

Method

  • Start rice and begin the stir fry 10 minutes before the rice is done.
  • Heat a tablespoon of oil over high heat in a large skillet.
  • Add chicken and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add bell peppers and stir fry 2 minutes more.
  • Remove chicken and peppers to a plate and add 2 tablespoons more oil to the pan.
  • Add ginger and garlic and stir fry 15 seconds
  • Add in peanut butter, soy, stock, chili paste and sesame oil and stir to combine into sauce.
  • Add chestnuts and green onions and toss 1 minute.
  • Add chicken and peppers back to pan and coat in sauce.
  • Serve over rice.
  • **TIP** I have found that it helps if you have all of the ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start.
  • This goes extremely fast.
  • I put the peanut butter, soy, stock, chili paste and sesame oil all together in a bowl that I can just dump in at the right time.
