Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast thinly sliced in bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 large orange pepper sliced thin and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp. ginger root minced
- 3 plum tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 lb. fresh baby spinach leaves rinsed and chopped
- 2 tbsp. grapeseed oil

Instructions
- Combine the grapeseed oil with the sesame oil, a pinch of salt, lots of black pepper, chili powder, minced ginger, brown sugar, and garlic.
- Mix it with the chicken and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Notes
- Store Chicken Peanut Stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
