Very good. I had been searching for an easy chicken with peanut butter recipe, and this fit the bill, and all ingredients I had on hand. I stir fried the chicken then added the sauce, served over rice with broccoli. Very very filling. I will definiitely be making again, but probably not for a while, since it's so rich, I'd really have to be in the mood for it.

While many of the recipes I shared here are not even close to low sodium, I myself definitely fit into that category nowadays. Most of these I just don't make anymore and the few I do are only with big changes/substitutions.
