Devine! Everytime we make this, guests rave...from our dinner group to my sister's 50th birthday celebration. We grilled the chicken...it was moist and incredibly flavorful. And, drizzled the peanut sauce over brown rice and broccoli too. This is a winner.01/04/10

My family LOVES this recipe!! It is definitely on my dinner rotation. The only complaint I have is that prep is a bit labor intensive - in other words, it's not a 20 minute meal. I serve it with either white or brown rice and a salad.11/21/09
