I cooked this just how it was described but I really didn't like it. The ingredients just didn't blend well.

This was really tasty! At the last minute I though I had peanuts and I didn't. I used 1 Tbsp of peanut butter instead, my wife did not notice the peanut taste, but I thought it was a little strong. Next time I will have to remember the peanuts! We use less onions because they're not our favorite. Also, I wasn't sure what to do with the jalapenos, so I just plopped them in and let them simmer whole. It did not make the meal too spicy.

This was delicious. I used chicken tenders, and instead of yogurt sour cream. The flavors are great, and it smelled wonderful as it cooked. Thanks for a great chicken recipe!

I cooked it as directed except I left out the jalapenos. It turned out really good! We loved the blend of flavors and even thought it might be good with a little coconut.

This really was delicous!! My whole family enjoyed it (we didn't find it too hot) I served it with Mashed Potato Pie #24217, fresh green beans and carrots. YUM!!
