Notes:
Feel free to add more veggies – this is pretty chicken
heavy. Also, much more spicy than I
could handle, but a great flavor. I
added a lot more peanut butter, but I would suggest making your own sweet chili
sauce so you can determine the level of heat.
Oh, and we used a food processer to gently pulse partially frozen
chicken breasts to chop them.
Eating well is a form of Self Respect.
