1 lb chicken breasts cut into small pieces juice of 2 lemons
about 1/2 C extra virgin olive oil or lard
1 cup peanuts
1 bunch green onion, sliced
2 large carrots, julienne
1 red bell pepper, julienne
1 C broccoli flowerets
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp grated ginger
1 Tbs Rapadura or sugar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbs soy sauce
1/8 C vinegar
2-3 C chicken stock
2 Tbs flour mixed with 2 Tbs water
Marinate chicken pieces several hours in lemon juice. Remove and pat dry. Mix chicken stock with vinegar, soy sauce, pepper flakes, ginger, sugar and garlic and set aside. In a heavy skillet or wok, saute chicken over olive oil until cooked through. Using a slotted spoon transfer chicken to a bowl and reserve. Saute peanuts a minute or two (add more oil if necessary.) Add peanuts to chicken. Saute onions, carrots and pepper for two minutes (add more oil if necessary). Add sauce mixture to veggies and bring to a boil. Return chicken and peanuts to the pan and mix well. Add flour mixture and simmer a minute or two until sauce thickens. Add broccoli and simmer until tender. Serve with brown rice.
This is a SLOW recipe, but everyone in my family ate it, and when we all like something besides pizza I am happy!

One suggestion that might make it easier. When you are doing vegetables for one meal, do extras that you can put in the freezer for another meal. For example, peppers freeze well. So, if you are using peppers in one meal and will need them for another meal like this recipe, cut extra and put them in a freezer bag. This will help cut the time of preparation. I try to do this as often as possible! I don't have kids demanding my time right now, but life is just awfully busy so time saving tips are always helpful!
