Cooking Instructions

step 1

For the sauce, whisk the Creamy Natural Peanut Butter (1 Tbsp), Light Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp), Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp), and Sesame Oil (1 Tbsp) together until a creamy sauce forms. Add Water (to taste), a teaspoon at a time, to thin as desired. Set aside.

step 2

In a large saute pan or wok, heat the Vegetable Oil (4 Tbsp) over medium heat.

step 3

Once hot, stir in the Garlic (1 tsp) and Fresh Ginger (1 tsp) for about 10-15 seconds. You don't want the garlic to burn!

step 4

Add the Chicken Breast (1 lb) and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.

step 5

Add the Red Bell Pepper (1) and Carrot (1/2 cup). Stir and cook until tender, about 5 minutes because you still want a little crunch.

step 6

Add the sauce and toss until everything is fully combined. If available, squeeze the juice of 1/2 an orange or lime to enhance the flavor.

step 7

Serve over cooked Brown Rice (1/3 cup) and garnish with Sesame Seeds (to taste), Scallions (to taste), and/or Peanuts (to taste), as desired.
