We love dinner recipes that are super easy to prepare and pack a punch of great flavors. This chicken recipe is one of them! The sauce is sweet, spicy, and peanut buttery. Each ingredient compliments the other. The flavors remind us of a few Thai dishes we've tried. Serve over a bed of warm rice and you have a delicious meal.
