peanut butter stir-fry

I’m the first to admit that I’m not very creative in the kitchen. David, on the other hand, is completely comfortable being a little more inventive. For this I am grateful. Some of our yummiest meals have come about because of his creativity. So kudos to David on this one. It’s a little concoction he pulled together a few years ago.

Oh — and if the peanut butter idea throws you off, all I have to say is: Don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s seriously tasty.

PEANUT BUTTER STIR-FRY

2 chicken breasts, cut in bite-size pieces

½ c. crunchy peanut butter

2 ½ c. sugarsnap peas

2 c. broccoli

1 1/2 c. carrots, sliced

1 1/2 c. mushrooms, sliced

1 c. green onions, sliced

1/2 c. yellow bell pepper

1/2 tsp. crushed garlic

stir-fry sauce

Cook chicken in a wok with a little olive oil until fully cooked. Set aside and mix with peanut butter. Combine all vegetables in the wok (starting with the ones that need longer to cook, such as carrots) and add a little water on occasion, as needed. Add garlic. When vegetables are done, add chicken to the vegetables (still in the wok) and add half a bottle of stir-fry sauce. Serve over rice.

Makes about 4 servings.
