THAI PEANUT CHICKEN



Thai Peanut Chicken image

This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.

And it's really easy to make, and is ready in less than 30 minutes.
