Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: peanut butter, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, water, and red pepper flakes until the sauce is smooth
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium high. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli and bell pepper. Cook the vegetables until crisp tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and half of the green onions. Stir to coat and cook 1 additional minute.
Add the chicken and sauce to the skillet. Let simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens a little. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions. Serve hot with rice, garnished with cilantro and chopped peanuts.
