• 1 to 2 tablespoon of olive or canola oil
• 1/4 cup of finely diced red onion or a regular onion
• 1 tablespoon of finely minced fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons of finely minced jalapeno ( pickled Jalapenos can also be used)

Method:

• Add the finely diced onion, jalapenos and ginger to heated oil in a heavy pan
• Sauté for about 2 minutes after seasoning with salt.
• Sauté for another 1 minute after adding the chilli powder.
• Next pour in the chicken stock and add in peanut butter, tomato paste as well as the apple cider vinegar.
• Bring to a boil while continuing to stir and lower the heat once it starts to boil so it can simmer gently.
• Now add the diced chicken and combine by gently stirring. Let this simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Do not stir too frequently otherwise the chicken pieces might fall apart.
• Wash the sliced green onions and dry it.
• Once the oil separates from the peanut butter gently stir and serve hot using green sliced onions as a garnish for each serving.
