YUMMY Thai Chicken recipe
FYI I got this recipe from user smareeh a few days ago, and I loved it SOOOO much tonight (also it is ridiculously easy and fast) that I wanted to pass it along to anyone who might have missed it.
It's just like Pei Wei but cheaper and with half the calories and like a quarter of the sodium. Plus I'm pretty sure you probably have most of the ingredients sitting in your kitchen right now.
Peanut sauce:
4T peanut butter
2T low sodium soy sauce
2t honey
2 T water
Put all in a small bowl. Microwave on high for ten seconds so the peanut butter is kind of mushy. Stir until it turns into a gravy-like paste.
Chicken:
4 chicken breasts, cubed
2t powdered ginger
2T olive oil
Cook the chicken, sprinkled with ginger, on medium-high heat over the stove in the olive oil until fully cooked. Pour the peanut sauce in the pan and heat through.
Serve over brown or white rice or Asian rice noodles. Yummy! It makes six servings.

For an even lower calorie version (187 calories for the entire recipe), try this one invented by my sister (hope_khm) which uses PB2. My absolute favorite!!
