(Possibly Low Fat) Spicy Peanut chicken stir fry.

2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned etc diced
8 tbsp. peanut butter
8 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp.(or equivalent) sweetener (or sugar if not low fat).
2 tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed chilli pepper or flakes
1 cup. Broccoli florets
2 peppers red or yellow sliced.
1 onion diced.
1 cup of sliced mushroom.

1. Mix the peanut butter, water, soy sauce and sweetener. This will take some doing, if you don't have a blender or something similar. I did it using a spoon and a fork.
. a. If you like soft vegetables place the broccoli and peppers in a microwavable dish with a half a cup of water. Microwave for 2 minutes stir than another 2 mins stir a final 2 mins.
2. In a wok heat oil over high heat. Add crushed garlic and the chilli pepper. Stir-fry 30 seconds.
3. Add the diced chicken. Stir fry for about 3 minutes.
4. Add onion. Stir fry for a further 3 mins
. a. If not microwaved add broccoli and peppers at the same time.
5. Add mushrooms. Stir fry for a further 2 mins. (or until chicken is cooked through which ever one is last)
. a. Add microwaved veg.
6. Stir in peanut butter mixture. Simmer stirring constantly until sauce is smooth it should take about 3 minutes.

Serve with steamed brown rice (or noodles if your not counting cals.)

Serves 2-4 (Bigger portions less low fat).
