Peanut Curry Chicken and Rice

Courtesy of Rachael Ray!

Serves 4
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 1 small bunch scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated (I used dry ginger and did about 1 tsp to taste)
- 2 large garlic cloves, pressed/mashed
- 1 small red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (about 2 handfuls)
- 2 rounded TBSP curry powder
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, plus additional splash, divided
- 1 TBSP veg. oil
- 4 chicken breasts or 1 1/2 pounds tenders, cut into bit-sized pieces
- 1/3 cup chunky peanut butter (I used regular and it turned out fine)
- 1 cup Greek-style yogurt

Prepare rice according to package directions.
While rice cooks, combine scallions, ginger, garlic, chili pepper, cilantro, curry powder and a splash of chicken broth in a small bowl and process into paste (food processor).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with oil. Add the chicken to the pan and brown for 2-3 minutes. Add the spice paste and stir for 1 minute to combine. Add the peanut butter to the pan and whisk in the broth. Bring to a bubble and whisk in the yogurt; lower the heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes. Serve over rice.

Very Yummy!!!
