Peanut butter chicken is one of my favorites to make for its simplicity and just down right good taste. Now obviously if you don’t like peanut butter you will not like this. This is an asian inspired meal with a little american kick. Now with all my hot things the hot sauce is something that can be reduced but for this one I wouldn’t take it completely out. I saw a peanut butter chicken in a Mens Health Magazine and thought that I could handle figuring it out and this is what I came up with. My first couple were pour in some of this and some of that so I have tried to get my best guesstimates of how much of what is in the sauce.
So I’m watching Food Network and Tylers Ultimate comes on. So I figure I haven’t watched him before so why not. Well he makes a great little dish around the Chicken Cordon Bleu, and I decide hey I can make that. So I did and it turned out great. Now to my recollection I have never made Chicken Cordon before so I don’t have a lot of experience with it but if I don’t say so myself it was tasty. My wife also loved it so I will go with it was good. He did have some good tips on making it as well some of the other stuff he made will be well used later. I decided to try it for our Anniversary Dinner. I wanted something that would be ordered in a nice restaurant so that I could try it at home. I paired mine with some Smashed Garlic Potatoes, Raspberry sauce, the Sweet Vinaigrette Salad, and for desert the Triple Mousse cake ( recipe to follow on next blog) This meal was delightful elegant and fun to make. The chicken was very easy to prepare and cook. It all came together very well and easily.
One of my quick fix meals I make is this dish. Its very simple to make but packs quite a flavor punch. I believe an old office mate at one of my old jobs brought this in and she let me have some. I then start guessing the items in it and got all but the ginger. I guessed the wrong spice however I was pretty close. So I brought it home and decided to give my attempts at trying. I however never wrote down the recipe till one day Anne’s old roomate Cori wanted the recipe when she moved out. So I had to measure what I put in and so now I can post it for you guys with my best guestimates of how much is in here. As with most of my cooking with meats and such I cook to taste so I will try my best for this and future recipes to give you the exacts and then let you make your adjustments. Anyways this is best served in my opinion with the brown rice once again. I just really it vs. the white. This chicken and sauce is so flavorful on your first bite you really will be pleasantly surprised. The orange and the spice with the chicken are just a great combination that you wil not be disappointed with.
