When my husband cooks, it's a little of this, and a spoonful of that. He NEVER measures anything. That means that no two meals are (or can be!) ever duplicated. However, when he created this one, it got a 10 from everyone in the family, so I literally had him remake it later in the day so I could measure the ingredients before they went into the pot. Successfully created and deliciously duplicated!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love dinner recipes that are super easy to prepare and pack a punch of great flavors. This chicken recipe is one of them! The sauce is sweet, spicy, and peanut buttery. Each ingredient compliments the other. The flavors remind us of a few Thai dishes we've tried. Serve over a bed of warm rice and you have a delicious meal.
