Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped red and/or yellow bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
  • Hot cooked rice for serving

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic, onion, and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavor.
  4. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  5. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  7. Reduce heat to low and stir the peanut butter mixture into the skillet.
  8. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Do not boil, as the yogurt may separate.
