  • Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Toast peanuts and cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer peanuts to a plate.

  • Add chicken and Cream Sauce Spice Blend to another medium bowl, then toss until all chicken pieces are fully coated.
  • Heat the same large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook, turning pieces occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 6-8 min.**
Assemble stir-fry
