Loved the taste. Nice and easy to prepare. Was light on the portioning, and would have doubled the protein and rice.
0 HelpfulForgot the peanut sauce but it was still enjoyable. Used bone in thighs and it was fun for the kids to eat with their hands. Tasty marinade.
0 HelpfulDelicious peanut sauce which went well with everything. The store didn't have green beans so used broccoli instead which worked well.
0 HelpfulWow. I think this is my favorite cook smarts meal yet! Randomly picked it from the archives to use up some chicken. We all loved it (including 18 month old). Left out jalapenos for our preference. Will 100% be making this again.
