Chicken & Pasta in Peanut Sauce image

The first time I used a bottled sauce and did not like it but then I found Sharon123's recipe for Peanut Sauce and fell in love! Recipe #37244 is what I used but use whatever peanut sauce that fits your taste buds. I do know that a good quality peanut sauce can make or break this recipe. Nice simple meal to put on the table even during a busy week.
