Spicy Peanut Chicken

This is a quick and easy dinner. This is a delicious, balanced dish with South East Asian flavours. You can use chicken or vegan chicken like Heura, Quorn or Linda McCartney. Serve up with either wheat free noodles or brown/red rice. If using noodles, soak and then add to the pan at the end to absorb the flavours.
