Ingredients

2 T olive oil

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

1 T finely minced ginger root

2 tsp. finely minced jalapeno

salt to taste

1 tsp. chile powder

1 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup chunky natural peanut butter

2 T tomato paste

1 T cider vinegar

3 cups diced, cooked chicken

fresh ground black pepper to taste

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Finely chop the red onion, ginger, and jalapeno, and roughly chop the chicken. Heat oil in a heavy pan, add finely diced onion, ginger, and jalapenos, season with salt, and saute about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder, stir into other ingredients, and saute about 1 minute more. Add chicken stock, peanut butter, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, stir, and bring to a slight boil. As soon as it starts to boil, lower heat to a very gentle simmer, add roughly chopped chicken, gently stir to combine, and let simmer 10-15 minutes. While mixture simmers, wash, dry, and slice green onions. After 10-15 minutes, gently stir again if the oil from the peanut butter has separated. Serve hot, with a generous handful of green onion slices on each serving.
