Pero Sweet Pepper Thai Chicken with Peanut Sauce

I work in sales at a produce company. My company's name is Pero Vegetable Company. We grow peppers, squash, cucumbers and all sorts of other produce and we sell anything from blueberries to rain chard. If you live anywhere on the east coast of the United States, the mid-west or even in Canada chances are you have eaten at least one of our peppers before. We are most widely known for our 3 count peppers trays:

We write recipes using our products and we send these to customers and put them out in trade publications. Unfortunately, the end consumer doesn't usually get ahold of these recipes. The following recipe is using Pero mini sweet peppers. If you havent cooked with mini sweets before you must really try them-they are packed with flavor! I have sliced them on home made pizza's and stuffed them with rice, beans and cheese as appetizers.
