Honey Peanut Chicken

Adapted from thepioneerwoman.com...

This meal is quick, easy, and delicious! Give it a try sometime...soon!

First, mix up your marinade:
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons peanut butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 dashes hot sauce

Cut one or two boneless skinless chicken breasts into chunks and cover with marinade. Let it sit for an hour...or 8 hours, if you want to get a head start that morning...or 10 minutes, if you forgot all about it till suppertime. I really don't think it matters too much. Just whatever works for you and your busy day.


Meanwhile, start a pot of brown rice. Chop one red bell pepper into thin strips and a few heads of broccoli into florets; saute over medium heat for 10 minutes.



About halfway through (that's 5 minutes after you start...or 5 minutes before you are done...I really think it's fine either way) hit those veggies with a couple of dashes of soy sauce. Once the peppers are tender and the broccoli is dark, remove the veggies from the pan and set aside.



Dump the chicken and marinade into the now-empty pan and cook for about 15 minutes. You want to make sure the sauce is cooked through since it has been in contact with the raw chicken.


Finally, dump the cooked veggies in and toss them around with the chicken and sauce. Serve over rice.

The coach looked up from his plate and said, "This is really good."

You'll say it too.


Enjoy!
