To make the chicken: heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is fully cooked and is no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a separate plate and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon to the pan. Then add the red and green paprika, garlic, peanuts and chopped red chili pepper. Sauté for 4 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers have softened slightly, stirring frequently.
To make the Kung Pao sauce: Beat all the ingredients until they are mixed.
Add the Kung Pao and then let the mixture simmer until the marinade thickens (approximately 1 minute). Add the cooked chicken again and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Serve immediately with rice or quinoa, topped with dressings if desired.
