- 2 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper
- 3 ounce Mushrooms, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium Green pepper, cut into 2-inch strips (about 1 cup)

- 1 1/4 cup Swanson® Chicken Broth or Swanson® Natural Goodness® Chicken Broth or Swanson® Organic Chicken Broth or Swanson® Vegetable Broth
- 1/3 cup Creamy peanut butter

Instructions
-
Heat the sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and green pepper and cook for 3 minutes or until the peppers are lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Increase the heat to high. Add the broccoli, broth, peanut butter, soy sauce and lime juice to the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the peanut butter has melted. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
-
Add the carrot noodles to the skillet. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the carrot noodles are tender-crisp (cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes for more tender noodles).
-
Uncover and toss to coat the carrot noodles with the peanut butter mixture. Cook, uncovered, for 1 minute or until peanut butter mixture thickens slightly. Serve sprinkled with the green onion and peanuts.
