Peanut Stir-Fry Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon wok oil or peanut oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
1
Preheat a wok over medium heat, adding oil as it warms up. Sear and stir the chicken in the hot oil until its internal temperature reaches a safe minimum, indicated by clear juices. Combine diced bell pepper with the cooked chicken and continue cooking until the pepper is tender.
2
In a separate, small bowl, whisk together the broth, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper until they form a smooth, uniform mixture. Pour this sauce into the wok and stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add chopped green onions and cilantro, reserving some for garnish purposes later on.
3
Continue to cook the mixture in the wok, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and reaches a desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in peanuts to add texture and crunch to the dish.

Finally, garnish the completed dish with reserved green onions and cilantro, serving hot and presenting a visually appealing final product.
