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.

Oh my goodness! I was dying to see how you made this. I have a lot of jars of pepper jelly from a promotion. Now I have a new delicious sounding recipe!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteI raised an eyebrow when I read the headline, then I saw it was pepper jelly. YUM!!!!!!!!! My kid is a spice-aphobic, so more for mom and dad :)
ReplyDeleteIt was great Audrey and I only used half the jelly called for because my husband, too, is spice sensitive. He loved it.
DeletePeanut butter and pepper jam on graham crackers or toast is great, but I would never have thought of putting it on chicken! Nice idea.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
