Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp wok oil
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 cups chopped dry roasted peanuts

Directions:

Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Place chicken in the wok, and cook until juices run clear. Mix in red bell pepper, and continue cooking until tender.
In a bowl, mix the broth, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper, ginger, and cornstarch. Pour into the wok. Toss green onions and cilantro into wok (reserving some of each for garnish). Continue to cook and stir 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Mix in peanuts, and garnish with reserved green onions and cilantro to serve.
