“I try to buy fresh chicken when it's on sale. I cook a big batch in the slow cooker, then shred it and package it in amounts suitable for recipes like this. When I want it, it just needs to be pulled out of the freezer and defrosted!” Jeni Pittard — Canon, Georgia

I have made this dish over and over, it is by far my favorite recipe. Quick and easy and SO yummy. I do what another review suggested and doubled the quantities except for the peanut butter and honey, also i use crunchy peanut butter since i never have chopped peanuts on hand. Enjoy!

Just making this again for supper tonight. Been looking forward to the next time I could make it! It's SO GOOD. Sorry for the previous reviewer that didnt like it - but everyone's tastes are different, that's what makes different recipes interesting! I always cook the sauce on the stovetop, just because I prefer to do it that way. Probably eliminates the smelly microwave situation too.

this was just awful. the sauce was disgusting. the peanut butter and salsa didn't combine at all, not to mention cooking salsa in the microwaves makes your house smell like burnt rotten tomatoes for days to come. do not make this recipe - a waste of time, money, and food!

This was my first time making any Thai food. My husband LOVES it in restaurants so I had a lot to live up to! He raved the whole time he was eating about how much he loved it! I made extra pasta and tripled the sauce recipe and accidentally used too much salsa but would do it like that again. I'm not a huge fan of cilantro either but that gave it a lot more flavor and I enjoyed it in this dish very much!! This recipe is way easy too so it will be made in this home many more times!!

AMAZING!!! I love peanutty chicken and this certainly delivered the right flavour. I didn't have salsa, so I used a mixture of mango chutney, diced tomatoes, and added cilantro, basil, pepper and a bit of salt. I doubled the sauce for 2 people and it was a perfect amount. YUM!

This was AMAZING! I did double the sauce and it made enough for two with a little left over. YUM! I love Thai food. Nice to have a recipe I can make it home when I crave it and can't get to my favorite Rest. Will make again very soon!

I doubled the recipe, but found the peanut butter taste was a little too strong. Wasn't overly excited about this recipe and would probably make something else instead.

My family really enjoyed this one! I might try it without the honey next time though, just to reduce the sweetness. Thanks!

My husband said he didn't like Thai foods. I tried this recipe only doubled it and it was a smash hit. I used Simply Jif for the peanut butter for a bit more of the healthy side.

Great recipe. I used leftover rotisserie chicken which made this even quicker to prepare. I like my Thai a little spicy, so next time I will add a 1/2 tsp of ground chili paste. Also, this recipe is only for 2 servings. I doubled the recipe which served 2 and had a serving of leftovers for the next day! Yummy!
