I found by experience that substituting orange or yellow pepper for the red just does NOT work. However, you can use orzo pasta instead of the rice and it works great. I have also skipped the chicken and just done it as a vegetarian dish and it was really good.

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6-8 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp curry powder
1 large onion, sliced thinly
1 large red pepper, sliced thinly
1 c salsa (I use medium, but do it to your preference)
1 large tomato, sliced thinly
1 1/2 c rice, uncooked
1/4 c peanut butter, crunchy
1/4 c warm water

Steps:

  • 1. Using a 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken in batches in vegetable oil about 5 minutes (turning once) until golden. Remove and set aside
  • 2. Reduce heat to medium; add salt, curry powder, onion, and red pepper; cook 1 minute while stirring
  • 3. Add salsa and tomato, cover and simmer 5 minutes
  • 4. Place chicken on top of vegetables, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 25 minutes (until chicken is cooked through). While this is cooking, prepare rice according to package directions.
  • 5. Plate rice, put chicken on top, cover to keep warm
  • 6. Whisk the peanut butter with water and stir into the vegetable mixture. Heat to boiling and then pour over chicken and rice.
