Dijon Chicken with Peanuts



I've had this recipe for years.  I like it because it brings different flavors to the standard "stir-fry",  yet it is very simple, healthy and easy to prepare for your family.   I like it best served over short-grain brown rice.  My Costco carries the rice, and you can also find it at Sprouts, or maybe Fry's Marketplace.   Enjoy! 

Dijon Chicken with Peanuts



2 C fresh stir-fry vegetables (your choice-- this time I used carrots, broccoli and celery)

5 tsp peanut oil

1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into thin strips (across the grain)

1/4 c dijon or country dijon mustard

2 Tbs white wine or chicken broth

1/4 tsp cornstarch

3 Tbs chopped dry roasted unsalted peanuts

Cook chicken in 3 teaspons of peanut oil,  in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until done.  Remove from pan; keep warm. 

Cook vegetables in 2 teaspoons of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat until tender crisp. Remove from pan; keep warm.

Blend mustard,  wine (or broth) and cornstarch; add to skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and boils. Return chicken and vegetables to pan; heat through. Stir in peanuts.

Serve over short grain brown rice.
