    So easy and delicious! I love how quickly it comes together. I used a mix of red and yellow bell peppers for more color.

  • Garland Kozey

    I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. The peanut sauce is so flavorful. I sometimes add a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a bit of brightness.

  • Amanda Doyle

    This recipe is fantastic! My kids devoured it. I added a little honey for extra sweetness and served it with noodles instead of rice.

  • Allison Dietrich

    Great recipe. I doubled the sauce, because we love it so much. It is also amazing with tofu instead of chicken!
