    Thai Coconut Peanut Chicken, This was one of my favorite recipes from Painter’s Tavern in NY state I tracked down various versions and tested and retested until I found the taste that fit their version Thai inspired, not truly an authentic dish This makes a lot of sauce – in fact, you may find that you don’t need quite the full amount for this recipe It really depends on how much you like in your finished dish I usually make the full amount and the next meal I serve the extra portion as a dip for chicken fingers or satay sticks (it also can be used as a chicken marinade) The nutritional data is assuming you are eating all of the sauce with this meal, so bear that in mind , My family loved it! Will make this again?, used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and a diced onion 🙂
