Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 stalk fresh broccoli (quick trick: use 1 bag of fresh broccoli florets from the produce section)
  • .5 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp Mr. Chow chilie sauce
  • .5 cup powdered creamy peanut butter
  • .25 cup water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 pack ten minute brown rice

Hollyized Steps:

  • First remove the fat from the two chicken breasts. (Tip: ask the butcher at your grocery store to remove all the fat while you’re shopping to save cooking time.) Then chop the chicken up into bite-sized pieces.
  • On a separate cutting board, cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh broccoli that is already chopped, remove a tad off the stems to keep fresh.
  • Begin cooking the chicken in a skillet on low to medium heat.
  • In a small sauce pan, start making the homemade peanut sauce. Add in the soy sauce, chilie sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, and peanut butter powder. Mix with a rubber spatula. Grate the ginger into the sauce. Heat on low to let it simmer, and stir frequently to keep the sauce from clumping.
  • Once the chicken looks like it is almost done, add in the chopped broccoli.
  • Finally, add in the peanut sauce into the skillet with the chicken and broccoli a few tablespoons at a time. Stir in the skillet until you get to your liking.
  • Serve over brown rice and enjoy a healthy and homemade takeout alternative! Wasn’t that easy?! Now give yourself a gold star for all the fresh veggies!
