Szechwan Peanut Chicken

Mer asked for this one a few weeks ago. I like this because it's fast and easy AND it has peanut butter in it. :-) I have yet to add the green onions and peanuts, but I imagine that it would only make this better.

4 chicken breasts
4 t. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 t. ginger, minced
1 T. peanut or vegetable oil
1 red pepper (cut 3/4 inch)
1/2 c. picante sauce/salsa (I use a little more)
2 T. peanut butter (again, I use more)
3 green onions, cut diagonally
1 T. chopped peanuts
Hot Rice for 4

Place chicken in bowl with soy sauce, garlic, and ginger to marinate for at least 10 minutes. Begin rice. Heat oil in 10 inch pan; cook chicken 3 minutes or until not pink. Add peppers, picante sauce, and peanut butter. Add onions, peanuts and heat through. Serve over rice with extra chopped peanuts on top.
