Chicken Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

This is a quick and delicious way to get protein and vegetables in your kids because almost all kids love peanut butter. I use whatever vegetables I have in my fridge. Today it was broccoli, red peppers, and carrots. I sauteed the chicken with ginger and garlic and a little onion. Topped it with cilantro and a quick peanut sauce. If you have leftovers it is great wrapped in a large lettuce leaf or brown rice wrap.

Chicken Stir Fry

• 2 chicken breasts, diced into bite size pieces
• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small bunch of broccoli, cut into small sections
• 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks (you can buy them this way)
• 1 red pepper, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
• fresh cilantro
• green onion, sliced for garnish
• chopped peanuts for garnish

1. Saute chicken until it starts to turn white and add the ginger, garlic and onion. Saute for a few minutes until the onion starts to turn translucent. Add carrots, broccoli and peppers and cook until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat to servings bowls. 
2. Top each serving with peanut sauce, fresh cilantro, green onion, and chopped peanuts. Serve.
