This Peanut Butter chicken has quickly landed a starring role in my dinner lineup!  Years ago, my husband was the only one who ate it. Now that my kids are older, they love it too!

I love how easy and quick it is! It reheats very well and is perfect over some simple and comforting white rice.

My favorite part of this Peanut Butter Chicken recipe is that it is from the pan to the plate in just twenty minutes. That makes it the perfect weeknight meal!

Just choose a delicious side dish to round out the meal. 
I like to use chicken thighs because they are a little less dry than traditional chicken breasts.
