    We have Spring Sweets Week coming up at the end of this month so I really wanted to go savory with this theme.  I found a recipe for a Thai like chicken dish made in the slow cooker at Taste of Home.  When I first told Frank we were having Peanut Butter and Jelly chicken for dinner, he sneered.


    When I plated it he was still sneering.  Luckily only at me in the kitchen as I was serving this up to our friends, John and Kirsten, for dinner.  Once he started eating it, that sneer turned into a smile and he ate a second serving.


    So while this is not the prettiest dish in the world it is one of the most delicious dinners I served last month and I am happy to share it with you today.  



    If you live in a family of Peanut Butter Lovers, do yourself a favor and try this amazingly easy and tasty dish.  I think it will become a regular for you.  I know it is going to be seen on my table again and again.

      1. I think you will be very pleased with the results Karen. So tasty. PS. I used less jelly than called for in the original recipe because Frank is spice sensitive.

      1. It was great Audrey and I only used half the jelly called for because my husband, too, is spice sensitive. He loved it.

    3. Peanut butter and pepper jam on graham crackers or toast is great, but I would never have thought of putting it on chicken! Nice idea.
