Chicken Stir-Fry with Peanuts

Frango xadrez is the Brazilian version of Sichuan gong bao chicken (or what Americans know as Kung Pao chicken). Our version is not spicy and—unlike the original—calls for onions and bell peppers. This dish is so popular in Brazil that it is now part of most home cooks’ repertoire. Served with rice, it makes a delicious and nutritious meal that takes less time to make than it would take to pick up the phone to order takeout!
