Preparation

Step 1

For Sauce:
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together chicken broth, soy sauce, wine or water, cornstarch, and red pepper. Blend in peanut butter (may need to use whisk). Set aside.

Preheat in large skillet over high heat. Add oil. (You may need to add more oil while cooking.) Stir-fry garlic and ginger in oil for a few seconds, add onion; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender.

Remove onion from skillet and add chicken. Stir-fry until done, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to cook. After cooking all chicken, stir sauce and add to center of skillet. Stir sauce to make thick and bubbly. Cook about 2 minutes more.

Return onion and heat through. To serve, place on top of linguine (or rice, if you'd like) and garnish with green onion slices.

Serves about 6.
