My husband and I have made this dish for years. It is fabulous! The flavors are layered so you taste the peanut butter first, then ginger and lime and the last flavor is the heat. Love it! We increase the amount of chicken to 2 to 3 lbs and prefer to serve it on rice noodles. The dish freezes well and can be made ahead of time as recipe states.

I'm a single woman, living in the Austin, Tx area with my ex-husband, so fortunately I have someone to cook for. I've been interested in cooking ever since I can remember. I've always liked the 50's/60's style, so I enjoy looking at vintage cookbooks. A couple of my other interests are flying kites and stitching reproductions of antique needlework samplers. I also grow culinary herbs. I hope to get a camera soon, so I can start submitting photos.
