My bf and I really much enjoyed this with some brown rice and stir fry veggies. We did double the peanut butter sauce cause we love PB. Thanks for posting this.

Here's a very, very nice change in the preparation of chicken breasts! I used twice as much peanut butter & possibly tripled the amount of water [sorry, I didn't measure, but just kept adding a little more,'til I got the consistancy that I wanted] & was very liberal with TOASTED sesame seeds! Thanks for this very good recipe!

This was okay - Tasted pretty good. But unfortunately the sauce... well, it just wasn't SAUCY enough. The peanut butter cooked into a thick, somewhat hardened mass on top of the chicken rather than kind of "melting" into a sauce. The chicken itself absorbed almost no flavor, so it was basically plain unflavored chicken plus the flavor of the layer of peanut butter on top. I would recommend using more peanut butter, more water, and a good dash of hot chili oil or sriracha hot sauce. Maybe some other flavorings like ginger or garlic. One nice thing about this recipe was it was very very quick and easy. Reviewed for ZaarTag.

Nice change from our regular chicken choices! I liked it very much, the kids weren't too thrilled about it (not being used to peanut butter with chicken!). Served over Chinese noodles with a few fresh veggies thrown in (lightly steamed). Didn't take as long as 40 minutes--I cut the meat into bite-size chunks.
