  This dish was easy but I modified it quite a bit. Used precooked chicken, used frozen broccoli and carrots, added bamboo and water chestnuts. I made a double batch of sauce but I think it could use less peanut butter. Topped it off with Thai Chili sauce to counter some of the peanut butter. Also added some chopped unsalted peanuts for texture. It was tasty and I will try it again.

  I made this & served it over linguine seasoned with 1/4tsp nutmeg, 1/8tsp allspice, 6-8 shakes of soy sauce & 2Tbs butter. Everyone loved it!

  This was delicious! It didn't taste to much like peanut butter at all. I even got it by two family members that don't like peanut butter! Next time I am adding different kinds of veges and serving it with fried rice. Very good and easy to make!

  Super easy (especially since I bought a bunch of boneless, skinless chicken thighs a while back and then cubed, packaged and froze them, which saved me that step). I used rice noodles as recommended - yum - but got lazy and just bought a bag of broccoli/carrot slaw. The veggies are already grated, so bite-sized, and the color really comes out when you saute them. I *definitely* will double the sauce next time; it was fine until we added the noodles, and then there just wasn't enough to go around. I, like others, would also at least double the red pepper - hardly any perceptible kick with the amount provided for by the recipe.Definitely a keeper!

  It was very tasty , made it exactly as written exept fettuccine instead of rice noodles. I will make this again ! Next time I will add a bit more red pepper flakes,broccoli and carrots.

  It’s not often that I have a recipe completely fail, but this one just did not turn out for me! I made it for myself & boyfriend - he absolutely hated it. I thought it was ok, but definitely tasted too peanut-buttery (and I love peanut butter). I ended up rinsing off the sauce in a colander and just making a replacement sauce with powdered ginger, soy sauce & a small amount of brown sugar. That greatly improved things, and the chicken still had the slightest hint of peanut butter - which was just enough. If I was going to make this again, I would use only 2 tsp of peanut butter.

  Awesome quick meal for a weeknight. Used linguine, next time I will kick up the heat and use more crushed red pepper.

  Nice, quick recipe. I added a touch more peanut butter and extra garlic. Thanks for the recipe!

  I followed the recipe as is, I agree with another viewer, it needs a little more kick.
