Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breast, thigh, fillet (whatever)
1 pretty large onion
1 large red bell pepper
2 large garlic cloves
2 big, juicy tomatoes, diced (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
1/2 pound fresh spinach
4 tbsp (peanut) oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp chili powder (hot)
1/2 tsp ground ginger (or grate some fresh- love this!)
2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp dried thyme
5 tbsp peanut butter
2 cups chicken broth
salt, pepper and cumin (added according to preference at end)
 
Directions:  

Chop up chicken into chunks.  Marinate in oil, garlic, chili powder, chili flakes, ginger, 
sugar, thyme for 15 minutes

Saute chicken and onions and red pepper 
(I did them separately so the chicken didn't overcook)

If you separated the chicken and veggies, add everything back together. Add peanut 
butter, diced tomatoes, broth- bring to a boil then cover with lid and simmer for 20 
mins or so.

Cook your rice.

Once the soup has thickened up, add salt, pepper and cumin to taste, and more 
peanut butter if you think it needs it.  When you're ready to eat, take it off the heat 
and wilt in the spinach.

serve with lots of rice
