Spicy Peanut Chicken Stirfry

Evan and I have struggled thinking what we could add to this blog. We both love to eat especially things that we have not tried before. Hence we try a lot of new recipes. We thought that we could add one of our favorite recipes each month. We would love to hear what everyone else is cooking in their kitchen.

This is one of Evan's latest favorites. It is extremely easy to make and tasty. I recommended marinating the chicken a few hours before cooking it. Also we tripled the sauce, so that we could have plenty to put over rice. If you have any questions let us know! ENJOY!!!

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
