This wonderful peanut chicken recipe is a family favorite of ours — and we have 3 very young children! Everyone who enjoys this recipe always asks what restaurant we ordered it from. It is fast and simple to make. I would say it's a bit like a stir-fry with a Thai flavor. Serve on top of cooked brown or classic white rice. Very good with a simple side like mandarin oranges to complete this meal
