Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 6 pieces of boneless chicken
  • 2 1/2 Tbsps of peanut butter
  • 3 cups of rice
  • Cooking oil
  • 1 broccoli
  • 5 peppers
  • Salt for flavoring
  • Pepper for flavoring
  • 1 cup of water
  • Snow peas
  • 1 onion
  • 1 1/2 cup of baby carrots
  • Wok
  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves

    Preparing a Peanut Chicken Stir Fry

  1. Step 1

    Start by chopping up your red, orange, yellow or orange peppers. Chop your broccoli, onion, snow peas and carrots into small bite size pieces. Finely chop your 2 garlic cloves.

  2. Step 2

    Take your chicken and place it onto a separate cutting board. Cut your chicken breast into 2 inch strips and place in a bowl. Wash your cutting board and hands thoroughly after you do this.

  3. Step 3

    Place your wok on the stove and turn on medium heat. Sprinkle your garlic into the pan and add a tablespoon of cooking oil.

  4. Step 4

    Place your chicken strips into the bowl and stir around until cooked all the way through. The chicken should be soft and chewy.

  5. Step 5

    Add your vegetables into the wok once the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Then sprinkle in salt and pepper to give extra flavoring to the mix.

  6. Step 6

    Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the wok and let it melt into the oil. Keep stirring the mix around until the peanut butter is smooth and like a sauce.

  7. Adding the Vegetables and Rice

  8. Step 1

    Add some water to help cook the vegetables thoroughly and to make extra sauce. The carrots might take a bit longer to cook than the rest of the dish.

  9. Step 2

    Cover the wok with a wooden cutting board after you have mixed it up. Then let it cook and simmer.

  10. Step 3

    Place another pot of water on the stove and bring the water to boil. Add a dash of salt and a tablespoon of butter and fill pot with rice up to half way of the water's height. Let it cook until the water has absorbed and keep stirring.

  11. Step 4

    Place the cooked rice onto a plate and make a little hole in the middle of the rice. Scoop some of the peanut chicken stir fry into the area and serve!
