Time 35m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 full bag of trader joes kung pao chicken
1 full bag green peas
1 full bag of riced cauliflower
grapeseed oil
butter
white pepper
black pepper
red chili pepper flakes
pink himalayan salt
soy sauce
chicken broth
paprika

Steps:

  • pour grapeseed oil over a large pan.
  • put in chopped chicken and cook over medium high for a few minutes.
  • then add in 1/2 can of chicken broth.
  • add pink himalayan salt, paprika, white pepper, red chili pepper flakes, black pepper, and any other spices you like.
  • add in fresh garlic.
  • add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the pan while the chicken broth is still there and stir the peanut butter until it becomes part of the sauce and no longer chunky.
  • the chicken broth will soak flavor into the food and also some of it will evaporate, don't worry if it looks like a soup at first.
  • cook the peas and riced cauliflower in separate pans. steam them or whatever you like. I usually just add a little bit of water and butter to a pan and let the vegetables defrost that way.
  • when the vegetables are done cooking, add them to the big pan with the chicken.
  • add a little soy sauce and horseradish to the pan if desired.
  • stir everything up and let the chicken broth continue to evaporate (if it's still there)
  • continue stirring until your gut feeling tells you IT'S READY.
  • boom. kung pao chicken from trader joes with added ingredients is ready.
