Kung Po Chicken

This dish isn't spicy, but very flavorful. If you want it spicy, add red pepper flakes.

1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 TBS fruit juice (apple, pineapple, grape, etc)
2 TBS cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
2 TBS oil
4 spoons peanut butter
4 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS vinegar
1 C water
4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
3/4 C frozen peas
red pepper flakes for spicyness (optional)

Combine juice, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces. Stir to coat well. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Heat oil in frying pan. (Mine has high sides, which makes it nice when stirring.) Add chicken. After chicken is cooked thoroughly, add peanut butter. Stir it around to help it melt. Combine the rest of the ingredients. Add to frying pan. Stir until combined. If too thick, add a little more water. Add frozen peas. Cook until peas are warm. Serve over rice.
