Spicy Peanut Chicken

This was a easy and yummy way to cook up a little Asian heaven on a weeknight.

1/4 cup chicken broth
1 TB. cornstarch
1 TB. sugar
2 TB. soy sauce
1 TB. white vinegar
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper *we thought it could use a little more but I would stick to the recipe if you or your family is sensitive to spice
1 TB. peanut oil
1 lb. chicken cut into small pieces
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1 red pepper, cut into strips
1/3 cup peanuts
2 green onions thinly sliced

mix broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set it aside. Heat frying pan with oil. Add chicken, garlic, and ginger --stir fry for about 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Add bell pepper and stir fry for 1 minute. Add sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Remove form heat and sprinkle with peanuts and green onions. Serve with stir fry veggies and rice.
