Laura's Spicy Peanut Chicken

I love this recipe b/c its fast and really pretty! The sauce is brown and the red peppers, green onion, and we top it with sesame seeds! People are always impressed. Josh says its as good as something you would get at Pei Wei.

I use Honey Roasted peanuts instead of dry roasted. The honey melts off them in to the sauce.
I go a little easier on the ground red pepper b/c my family is a little sensitive.

And I always double the sauce b/c come on you can never have too much sauce!
