Servings: persons

1 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 Tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Oil, For Sauteing
1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter, Creamy
1/2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1/2 Tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon Lime Juice (optional)
1/2 teaspoons Ginger, Minced
1 clove Garlic, Minced
4 Tablespoons Warm Water (As Needed)
1/2 bunches Asparagus
1 teaspoon Sriracha, Chile Garlic Sauce, Or Sambal Oelek
1/2 cups Brown Rice, Cooked According To Package Instructions

1
Begin by cutting your chicken into bite sized pieces, and combine the chicken and the rest of the chicken ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl or plastic bag.
2
Mix until everything is incorporated and all the chicken pieces are coated in marinade.
3
Set aside.
4
This would also be a good time to get your pot of rice simmering on the stove or in your rice cooker if it isnt already prepared.
5
While thats happening, combine all the ingredients for your sauce in a bowl, mixing after each addition.
6
Give it a taste!
7
It should be perfect, but if it needs a little something, go ahead and add whatever you need.
8
If you want it to be spicy, you can add the Sriracha here (I waited until it was all bubbling away on the stove).
9
I added all 4 tablespoons of water, and it seemed really liquidy, but it thickened when cooked.
10
Prep whatever veggies youre using.
11
I used asparagus, so I trimmed off the tough edges and cut the spears into 3 pieces.
12
Heat the teaspoon of oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat.
13
Add chicken pieces, draining them of the marinade.
14
If the veggies youre using take a longer time to cook (like asparagus) add them in at the same time.
15
If not, just wait a few minutes before adding them.
16
Cook chicken for about 3 minutes on each side, then add your sauce and reduce heat to medium-low.
17
Let it simmer away until it has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
18
Spoon chicken, veggies, and sauce over rice and enjoy!
19
Notes: Recipe serves one but is easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
