Cilantro Chicken with Peanuts

YUM!  I loved this one and so did the whole family.  Once again a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens special edition Fast and Healthy.  Will definitely be making this one again and again. 

Ingredients:
2 tsp peanut oil (I didn't have so just used olive oil)
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (cut into pieces)
1/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts
2 tsp minced fresh ginger - i omitted because i don't really like ginger and i didn't have
4 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup sliced green onions (2)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 cup fresh cilantro
4 cups finely shredded Chinese (napa) cabbage or can use 2 cups hot brown rice (i used cabbage and kids gobbled it up)
fresh cilantro
lime wedges

In a large skillet heat oil.  Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes.  Add peanuts, ginger, and garlic; cook and stir about 3 minutes.  Add green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil and cook for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.  Spoon mixture over cabbage.  Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
