(Bogus) Thai chicken stir-fry

I make this recipe in the winter a lot. It's easy and if you like PB (you can use creamy or crunchy or natural, doesn't matter) you'll love it. Good with rice or noodles.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. water
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. peanut or vegetable oil
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 to 4 c. chopped broccoli

In a small bowl, blend peanut butter, water, soy sauce and sugar; set aside. In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add garlic and pepper; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add chicken, stir-fry until firm and white, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli or spinach, stir-fry until bright green, about 3 minutes. Stir in peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes. Serves 4 regular people, 2 big people and 1 little person, or 2 Hugginses.

i make something similar- only I let the chicken marinade in the soy sauce/brown sugar/garlic mixture for a while, and add a can of coconut after cooking the chicken.

only the older people in the family like this so all the younger children just have to deal with it :(
