For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed, or 1.5 pounds of cubed firm tofu. Add them during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Adjust the amount of peanut butter to your liking. Some prefer a more pronounced peanut flavor, while others like it more subtle. Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for a touch of heat.
