I gave this recipe a four, only because I altered it, and then it is a five :) I made my peanut sauce with 3 tablespoons soysauce, 3 tablespoons peanut butter (I love peanut butter), 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon chili pepper (I didn't have cayenne and didn't feel like buying it just for this recipe), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1-2 tablespoons honey (i felt like the sauce needed a bit of sweetness), and 1/2tsp of red pepper flakes (to taste). Also, I saw that they put red peppers in the picture, but not in the recipe, so I included these. I used only two chicken breasts, and it seemed like one batch of sauce was enough for that, so i could see if you were making it with 4, you would need more sauce. I'm making it again tonight, and am quite excited - yum!

This was a very good and easy recipe. Although it really needed an extra kick to be thai! I really like the peanut addition though!

This was a great dish! I routinely use Peanut Satay in a jar for peanut chicken and this was much better. I served it with jasmine rice and added a can of coconut milk to make more of the sauce. My entire family loved it!

This recipe is really good. The sauce is perfect. Not too spicy but just right. I made a double batch of sauce so there was extra to pour over the rice. Thanks!

I agree that this is not Thai. I doubled the sauce (except cayenne), and shouldn't have - too strong! Maybe I should have stretched the sauce with chicken stock. My little kids couldn't eat this (and they are not too picky, and usually made to eat whatever is put in front of them!) - my 3 yr old called it yucky chicken. I definitely won't make again, but gave 3 stars because I didn't follow the recipe exactly.

An outstanding meal. Exchanged the white wine vinegar for rice vinegar, added 1/4-1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar (2x heaping 2 tbsp measure), added 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger with chicken, then again at end to enhance flavour--I can't wait to have the leftovers for dinner tomorrow night! Thank you for sharing!!

EXCELLENT DISH!! Got to try this one, our whole family loved this. However, I did double the sauce and added cilantro like some others did. Thank you.

I really like this dish! I did double the peanut sauce, the ginger, and the garlic. Next time, I'll add more green onion too! YUM!

I am in college and am oversees studying with some fellow classmates. We all were craving some Thai Peanut Chicken and this more than hit the spot! Just a couple of tips. If you are living in Europe then you may need to add sugar to the sauce as Peanut butter over here is not a sweet as American, its more like natural peanut butter. Also doubled the sauce and chicken, it seemed like there just wasn't enough as i was cooking so if you like more sauce then double for sure. As for the chicken i have three hungry college boys to feed so we needed as much meat as we could get! It seriously was the best...try it!

This was a pretty good recipe. I changed it a bit, though. Instead of broccoli, I used shredded carrots and sliced bell peppers. I also doubled the sauce and added between 1/4 and 1/2 C. chicken broth. I also added some cilantro near the end of cooking. Overall, a good recipe :)

This was really a wonderful recipe. My husband said that he would eat this every night! I used regular white vinegar and added a tablespoon of white wine. I omitted the onions, and used 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger root. Also added some sliced carrots. This will become a "regular" in our house.

LOVE THIS RECIPE! It tastes like it came out of a restaurant. It's spicy for sure, but it's delicious. I don't like spice as much as my husband so I might not put quite as much of the pepper in as it called for. It's probably a recipe that we'll make at least once a month if not more!

I have been holding on to this recipe for weeks now & now I ask myself, "WHY!" Excellent flavors. The only thing I did differently was omit the green onions (not a big fan), use brown rice instead of white, add 1 tbsp sugar to the peanut butter mixture to balance the heat, add sliced carrots & 1/2 thinly sliced red pepper.....I always try to disguise veggies for the kids. This recipe is "cake." Your family will love it as did mine!

Can I give this 6 stars?? This is like, the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. My boyfriend and I "love" it, if you know what I mean! We added extra garlic, and vinegar to the chicken when cooking it-gives it that extra pizzaz everyone is looking for.

Definitely double the sauce. I used a natural peanut butter, and had to thin it down with some water. I served the broccoli on the side. I attempted to use a Japanese somen noodle but they turned to glue, so then I had to use the brown rice at the last minute. I did not think this was spicy at all so I am wondering if I need new cayenne pepper. My kids did not like this at all. I think it was too rich for them.
