PREHEAT: 1 burner, medium-high heat
PANS/EQUIPMENT: Medium saucepan
PREP TIME: 20 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes

2 cups chicken broth
6 Tablespoons soy sauce
6-10 garlic cloves, crushed
4 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (or less to taste)
Combine in saucepan and bring to a boil, let cool. “It’s good to let the sauce cool before adding the peanut butter, it will help make the sauce a little thicker.  You might want to reduce the amount of hot pepper if the kids do not like spicy food.”

6 teaspoons sesame seed oil
Add to saucepan and whisk together.

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup green onions
1 cup chopped steamed broccoli, if desired
Add to saucepan. Heat over low heat, until warm.

Hot cooked brown rice or whole grain linguini (cook while preparing sauce)
Serve sauce warm over rice or linguini

OPTIONS: Try Bragg Liquid Aminos for a lower sodium, wheat-free alternative to traditional soy sauce.

“The [Once Again] peanut butter…is delicious! My kids love it, too. I like the consistency, it doesn’t dry out like other natural peanut butters. This is one of my husbands’ favorite recipes. I like that I can sneak in some broccoli, since that is not always a favorite vegetable. Everything taste’s better with a little peanut butter!” (Nicole, mother of 2)
