Directions
Begin by combining 2 tbsp. of cold water with soy sauce, vinegar, Splenda, cornstarch and chili sauce -- stir well until all ingredients have dissolved. Set sauce aside.

Spray a large pan or wok with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers, celery, onion, garlic and 2 tbsp. of water. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 5 minutes.

Once chicken is almost fully cooked but still tender, add peanuts and water chestnuts to the pan or wok. Raise heat to high, give sauce a stir, and add it to the pan/wok as well.

Mix entire dish until all ingredients are coated in sauce, and the sauce is hot and thick. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Enjoy! MAKES 2 SERVINGS.

     I enjoyed this dish a lot. I had mix of wild rice and quinoa instead of white rice and I added bean sprouts and frozen broccoli. It was not a recipe I would say I can't wait to make it again but it was good and healthy. - 6/10/13

     I've made this several times and love it. I add sugar snap peas and some match stick carrots and double the sauce. This is a beautiful, healthy dish! - 1/13/15

     Delicious. I used almond slivers and didn't add celery but it tasted fantastic. The kick of the chilli sauce came at the end of every bite , which hubby loved. - 1/16/12

     I enjoyed this. My hubby thought it was too spicy, and my son thought it wasn't sweet enough. I thought it was just right. I omitted the water chestnuts and the mushrooms. - 1/19/11
