I am making this one for sure. I love peanut sauce. I went to the website you linked and I will be buying it.

I don't think you will be sorry that you bought it, Dyann. When you compare the nutritional facts to regular or even reduced fat peanut butter, you just can't beat it.

I am a sucker for anything peanut so I'm ordering some PB2 now.

Thank you!

Wow, you already got your PB2??? That was fast!!

Yeah, I'm very interested in how this tastes. I was thinking about cooking it myself this week. It sounds delicious!

It was great. I would put in more salsa and no cornstarch. Much of the liquid evaporated and left a yummy thick sauce where the flavors were more pronounced then when I first mixed them. I have a problem with chicken breast. It wasn't as soft as a thigh but still moist enough I could eat it at this stage. 6 months ago...forget it. Very tasty!!!

Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to have to try it myself! I do okay with chicken breasts but actually prefer thighs. I may have to try it with breasts and thighs to see which I prefer.

Just made this tonight and it was great! Even my three year old loved it. I adjusted the salsa like Dyann suggested (1 cup) and it came out perfect. I think this might be a weekly menu item for a while. It was the most I've eaten since my surgery. Thanks!

It sounds like I need to make this one for sure!

So glad you liked it. I have a Greek chicken on here someplace that is fantastic! You may like to try that one too.
