This is a WONDERFUL recipe for homemade Thai food. I serve mine with Jasmine rice & it makes a whole meal. I don't typically use sesame oil since it is a bit pricey but I have found that vegetable oil works just as well. I also add a little bit more cayenne pepper since I like the added heat. It's pretty quick to make too!

I made a few changes, thanks to other reviews, and in the end my whole picky family loved this dish! I made the sauce seperately, with all the listed ingredients, but only a 1/4 cup peanut butter, added some soy sauce, chicken broth, lime juice, garlic and tahini. I also added carrots, cabbage, peas and broccoli. First i browned the chicken, then added the veg and some stock to steam it. this made the chicken come out really tender too. When all was cooked i tossed it in the sauce and served over rice with chili flakes sprinkled on top.

Excellent! A family fav everytime I make it. I occasionally sub Goyza sauce for Hoisin if that's what I have on hand and crushed red pepper flakes for the cayenne. Also, once chicken is browned, I remove from pan, mix the sauce ingredients in the pan then return the chicken to finish cooking in the sauce. This makes for a smooth sauce. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed!

Good stuff! We changed it up a bit. I wanted to stretch the chicken so added a bunch of vegetables: half a large onion, two carrots, a big bell pepper, some cabbage... For the sauce, we added all ingredients to a bowl and mixed them, adding about a quarter cup of leftover coconut milk and some water(per the other reviews), and several shakes of curry powder. I poured the sauce over the chicken and veggies when they were done, cooking only another couple minutes. The juices from the vegetables and chicken thinned the sauce the rest of the way and it was the perfect consistency. Very tasty. We got four substantial meals from one large chicken breast and two cups cooked rice. Probably also reduced the calories a little that way. Thanks for the easy recipe!

Awesome! I did what other reviewers said - I put the peanut butter (chunky), ginger, 3/4 cup water and hoison sauce in a small saucepan and heated it up. Cooked the chicken in the sesame oil and then added the sauce. I didn't have cayenne pepper so I used crushed red pepper - made it nice and spicy! Didn't have any scallions so just skipped them. Served it with Jasmine rice.

This recipe was really bad!! It has way to much peanut butter in it and not enough liquid. I had chicken in paste when I got finished. My husband said I ruined good chicken for this and my kids asked me to never fix it again.

I rather enjoyed the taste of the dish, but I ditto the thickness that others here have mentioned. Next time I will try to use about half of the peanut butter and hoisin and add some honey to add sweetness. There was just way to much sauce for the amount of chicken. I thinned the sauce out a bit with canned chicken broth. This worked pretty good. Loved the flavor overall, just a bit to much thick peanut butteryness. Was great over white rice!

This was one of my first recipes I tried off of allrecipes and I thought it was really good. I followed other's advice regarding mixing the sauce separately, etc, and it turned out wonderfully. I will definately be making this one again.

This has become one of my husband's favorite meals. I've made it with peanut butter and sunbutter (made from sunflower seeds) because out daughter is allergic to peanuts. It is really good with either one. The cayenne gives it a nice kick. The sauce does get a little too thick for us, though. Adding a little water or chicken broth helps.

This is a good basis for the recipe. Like other users have said the peanut butter definitely needs to be mixed with water otherwise it's too thick. I also fried the chicken in the sesame oil with some red onions and soy sauce for some extra flavour to the chicken. Throwing in some coriander at the end instead of spring onions was also fantastic.

Surprisingly good! Next time I'll use extra garlic, some sriracha or hot peppers for a little more fire & coconut milk. But for future users, definitely follow the advice of other users & microwave the peanut butter first -- it will make all the difference in consistency!

Excellent and very fast recipe. Like another reviewer said, add about 3/4 cup of water to the sauce and make it in a separate bowl before transfering to the chicken pan. I use chunky peanut butter because that's what we usually have on hand. My picky, picky boyfriend asks for this every week.

Ok, so before my husband and I made this, I checked all the reviews just in case. I kept seeing how "clumpy" and "sticky" the sauce was turning out for a lot of people. Here's what I did to remedy the clump situation: I lessened the peanut butter from 1/2 cup to a 1/4 cup. I also nuked it for about 15 seconds beforehand to where it was the consistency of a thick caramel. Someone else made that suggestion(THANKS!). I also added a 1/4 coconut milk and a tablespoon of wasabi powder as well to counteract the sweetness factor. It was absolutely great! Quick and easy too. I'm just a beginner cook and a newlywed, so this recipe was right up my alley. If you follow my suggestions I really doubt you'll be disappointed, because we sure weren't. Give it a shot guys!

I try a lot of new things, but unfortunately this turned out to be a pretty bad dinner. The sauce is too much of a paste. Sorry if that is what is intended, but just didn't care for this dish. After reading all of the reviews, I need to add that I did add the water and some soy sauce and mentioned to my wife that minced garlic may help. Just wanted to clarify!

I made this for supper last night and it was a hit with everyone, even my super picky Dad. It's not good left over as I just found out. I test drove a small amount of the sauce with chicken in teh frying pan and quickly added quite a bit of water until it was just slightly thicker than gravy. I also added a few dashes of soya sauce to break up the hoison and peanut butter. Very yummy on its own but I think it just added something. Liking peanut butter is a must here. Good Luck
