       2    Chicken breasts (Or 1 lb of shrimp)

       2 tb Soy sauce

       1 ts Oil

     3/4 c  Rice, long cooking

       1    Garlic cloves, crushed  (I've used up to 3 cloves)

       2 c  Stock, chicken

       2 tb Peanut butter  (I use very generous table spoons)

       2 ds Pepper flakes, red  (I use about a tea spoon for a medium heat)

       1 tb Peanuts     (optional)

 

   Cut bell pepper into short thin strips.  Combine boneless chicken and

   soy sauce in shallow bowl; set aside.  Heat oil in skillet over

   medium heat. Add rice and garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in

   stock, peanut butter, and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, stirring

   until peanut butter is melted. Place chicken over rice mixture,

   adding soy sauce to skillet; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until 5

   minutes before end of cooking time on rice package. Stir in snow peas

   and ginger; sprinkle with pepper strips. Remove from heat. Let stand,

   peanuts.
