Peanut Butter Chicken

You will love this peanut butter chicken, even if you don't like peanut butter..well that's what I was told. In my case and everyone else in this family, peanut butter is a favorite especially in a sauce.

The recipe calls for a whole chicken but I always use breasts instead. It works well with either.

Next time I make this dish, I will take a photo to post here. Always nice to have a visual.
