Sauce:
¼ cup peanut butter (no sugar or salt added)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 Tbsp lime juice
¼ cup water or coconut milk
Optional 1-2 Tbsp sriracha or other heat
Stir-fry:
16 oz raw chicken, cut into small pieces (or 12 oz cooked chicken)
8 oz broccoli
5 oz mukimame (shelled soy beans)
½ cup chopped frozen spinach
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp minced fresh ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp sesame seeds
Chopped peanuts and cilantro leaves to garnish
In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
In one pan, cook the chicken over med-high heat with a little bit of oil. Stir occasionally to enable thorough cooking, but you also want the outsides to sear.
In another pan, cook the broccoli and mukimame over medium heat, with oil or water, until the broccoli is half soft. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for about thirty seconds, then add the sauce and spinach. Stir enough to distribute the spinach, then add the chicken, which should be completely cooked by now, and sesame seeds. Stir everything together and cook another 1-2 minutes for the sauce to slightly thicken.
Serve with rice or by itself, with additional peanuts and cilantro.

Chicken pieces (boneless and skinless is easiest)
salsa
shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, colby jack, pepper jack, monterey jack)
oil or butter
spices (Mexican style, such as cayenne, cumin, cilantro)
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Warm the oil/butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add in the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with spices. Let brown on the bottom side until the chicken seems cooked about halfway through.
Transfer chicken and all drippings from the pan into a baking pan. Cover the chicken with salsa, then cover with shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (Check with a thermometer for larger pieces. Chicken needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F.)
Serve with sides like beans, rice, corn, guacamole, sour cream, whatever you want.

Cut the tops off the carrots. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters lengthwise.
