I don’t remember where I originally got this recipe, but I just make it for dinner and the whole thing went in the garbage. I’m sorry, but it was gross. Maybe it was the salsa I used. I know it’s there to add some kick, but the tomato flavoring was way too strong. What a waste of chicken, salsa, and peanut butter. If you want a healthy peanut chicken recipe try the Szechuan Chicken recipe in Weight Watchers Take Out Tonight cook book. Sorry, I’m just trying to save someone else from dumping a bunch of food in the trash.
