Hi, I'm new here but love this forum. So much to inspire!
I came looking for a lazy Sunday chicken dish. I found this and knew I would love it. I had some chicken thigh fillets left from yesterdays big family feast of paella.
On raiding the fridge I found that I had sensibly put the chicken in the freezer because I also had extra prawns that should be cooked first. Well, this recipe sounds like it would suit prawns too. The next problem was, no peanut butter to be found. I did have some macadamias and some almonds, enough for a nut butter made in the TM.
Result? The prawns needed less cooking time than chicken. The macadamias and almonds added to the texture very nicely. The sauce was a bit runny and there was too much of it so I saved some for the freezer. It will make a great base for another seafood dish. I served it on rice and took the cue from here to have wilted chinese vegies, fresh from our asian market this morning. Thumbs up from all of us. A fabulous meal, no fuss, no mess, just compliments that I didn't really deserve.
I really look forward to trying it with the chicken!
