INGREDIENTS
12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 C raw unsalted peanuts
2 green onions, thinly sliced, plus additional for garnish
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 C cooked brown rice*
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
*I only had Jasmine Rice, so I used it, but cooked it in vegetable broth.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a wok or large skillet, heat oil on medium-high. Add pepper flakes, chicken and peanuts and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in 1/4 C water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, onions and vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve with or over top of rice, dividing evenly and garnishing with additional onion.
