I thought this was very good, but my picky family didn't care for the flavors....sigh....so hard to please them. But IMO, the flavor was very yummy. That's OK, I'm still keeping the recipe! One note: I did use thin sliced chicken breast fillets instead of breast steaks, so the marinade would soak through better.

This is one of those recipes that I love finding - took about 3 minutes to prepare but brought such great reward! We loved it! Dh said he could have easily eaten 5 or 6 chicken breasts with this paste - he'd already eaten 2!!! My dd who is 9 also loved this. I did use ff yogurt instead of the oil, for WW reasons. It was amazing. I served this with raita and a low fat peanut sauce. Really great!!! Thank you so much!
