How to Make Amazing Thai Peanut Chicken

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color or combination). Stir to combine.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Add 1/4 cup roasted peanuts.
Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp and chicken is cooked through.
Serve immediately over cooked rice or rice noodles. Garnish with extra chopped green onions and peanuts, if desired.
