Instructions
- Heat water to a rolling boil.

- Coat a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Heat the skillet on medium–high. Brown all sides of diced chicken on medium–high heat for 8–10 minutes.
- Add broccoli to the skillet, and cook for 10 minutes or until internal temperature of diced chicken reaches 165 °F and broccoli is tender, but not mushy.
- Prepare sauce: In a small microwavable bowl, combine peanut butter, 2 Tbsp warm water, soy sauce, cider vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Microwave sauce for 30 seconds; remove from the microwave, whisk sauce and microwave for 30 more seconds, whisk again. (Note: sauce will look stringy.)

The CHEF TIPS:
VariationAdd a variety of frozen stir-fry vegetables such as snow peas, carrots, and onions.Caution! Peanut butter is a common allergen. Try using sunflower butter as a substitute.Large broccoli pieces may be a choking hazard; for younger children, chop broccoli into smaller pieces.For younger children, squeeze lime juice onto the dish, and serve without the lime wedge.
