Satay Chicken Stir-Fry With Snow Peas and Cilantro

I made this recipe from Real Simple for dinner last night and everyone ate it. Definitely a keeper in my books!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
juice of 2 limes
1/3 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 long red chili, thinly sliced (I used 1 tsp chili pepper flakes)
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger ( I used 1 tsp powdered ginger)
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups snow peas
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves ( I left this out b/c Dale doesn't like cilantro)
Directions
1.In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, broth, sugar, and coconut milk.
2.Cut the chicken into 1-inch-wide strips. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, chili, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden, about 5 minutes.
3.Add the snow peas and broccoli and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 1 minute. Add the peanut sauce and cook until the mixture has thickened slightly and the chicken has cooked through, about 3 minutes.
4.Garnish with the cilantro. Serve over cooked rice, if desired. I served it over whole wheat cappellini.
