The BEST dinner ever!

Last night I tried a brand new recipe and it turned out fantastic! I really wanted Peanut Chicken but wanted a different recipe than what I had. So I typed in Peanut Chicken on allrecipes.com and found this amazing recipe:

Thai Peanut Chicken

This is how my dish turned out. YUMMY!!

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked white rice
• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
• 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger root
• 3/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
• 1/3 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

Directions

1. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken, garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium, and add green onion, broccoli, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice.

I did have to alter it a little bit. I tripled the sauce and used granulated garlic instead of minced garlic since I ran out of minced garlic (a sin growing up). You could probably do the same if you don't have any minced ginger. I also toned it down on the cayenne pepper but Emma and my neighbor both commented on how spicy it was so you might just want to do the 1/4 teaspoon for the whole sauce if you triple it. The picture on allrecipes.com had red peppers in it which are not in the original recipe so I might have to try that next time. It was AMAZING!!!! I want to make it again for dinner tonight but Jacob might look at me funny.
