Chicken with Peanut Sauce

This is a very quick & easy weeknight dinner. It isn't spicy but still is delicious (and the leftovers are great - if there is any).

Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp soy sauce (I use low sodium to make it healthier)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil (I use peanut oil)
2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned & cut into bite-size pieces
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
ground black pepper to season
3 to 4 cups sliced broccoli or spinach (I use spinach)

Serve with rice made with a rice cooker

In a small bowl, blend/mix peanut butter, water, soy sauce and sugar; set aside
In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over high heat
Add garlic and pepper; stir-fry 30 seconds
Add chicken, stir-fry until firm and white, about 5 mins
Add broccoli or spinach, stir-fry until bright green, about 3 mins
Stir in peanut butter mixture
Cook, stirring constantly until sauce is smooth, about 3 mins

Serves 4
