African Peanut Chicken Stew

African Peanut Chicken Stew
serves 5

INGREDIENTS
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
1 box Betty Crocker® Chicken Helper® jambalaya
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups hot water
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with onion and pepper, undrained
1/2 lb sliced fully cooked Polish or kielbasa sausage, if desired
2 tablespoons peanut butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut chicken into strips, about 2x1/4 inch. In 3- to 4-quart saucepan, stir chicken and Chicken Seasoning until chicken is evenly coated; stir in oil. (For best results, use saucepan with nonstick finish.)

2. Cook chicken uncovered over medium-high heat about 8 minutes, turning chicken over after 5 minutes, until dark brown on both sides. Stir in hot water, Sauce Mix, uncooked Rice, tomatoes and sausage. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 25 minutes, stirring once, until rice is tender.

3. Stir in peanut butter. Cook about 2 minutes longer, until mixture is thickened. Cover; let stand about 5 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed.
