Ingredients
Olive Oil, 1 tbsp1/4 cup diced red onion 1 tbsp. Ginger Root2 tsp. Jalapeno Peppers, finely diced1 tsp Chili powder, Chicken Broth, 1 cupNatural Chunky Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste1 Tbsp. Cider VinegarChicken Breast, Cooked, Diced, 3 cupsScallions, raw, 2 large Chiles - Ortega, Fire Roasted Diced Green 1 can
Directions
Finely chop the red onion, ginger, and jalapeno, and roughly chop the chicken. Heat oil in a heavy pan, add finely diced onion, ginger, and jalapenos, season with salt, and saute about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder, stir into other ingredients, and saute about 1 minute more.

Add chicken stock, peanut butter, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, stir, and bring to a slight boil. As soon as it starts to boil, lower heat to a very gentle simmer, add roughly chopped chicken and green chiles, gently stir to combine, and let simmer 10-15 minutes. (Resist the urge to stir it very much, or the chicken will shred apart, which you don't want here.)

While mixture simmers, wash, dry, and slice green onions. After 10-15 minutes, gently stir again if the oil from the peanut butter has separated. Serve hot, with a generous handful of green onion slices on each serving.
