I thought this was very tasty. I added the coriander and cayenne pepper (actually I used red chili powder) very liberally, as we like things highly spiced. Yummy! -
The sauce had such an odd flavor to it, perhaps too much peanut butter? -
very nice sauce! will make again. will try adding slightly more peanut butter/slightly less tomato paste and no sugar next time to suite my craving better. My son enjoyed it very much as well. thank you for sharing this delicious recipe... -
This is my new favvy chicken recipe! The flavours are well balanced, and the sauce is silky. I omitted the green peppers, and substituted hot pepper flakes for the cayenne. With the left overs, I tore the chicken into pieces and heated with parmesan and the sauce. I cooked some fresh pasta and tossed with the chicken mixture. It is a very versatile recipe. Kudos!
