Peanut Butter Chicken Recipe (or Nut Butter of Choice!)
I am apparently terrible at keeping up with a public blog and website. My apologies, but things have been CRAZY busy. Yes, I’m finally posting my peanut butter chicken recipe. And by “my”, I mean the recipe I got from Kristin Cavallari. No, peanut butter isn’t paleo, but I’ve done it with almond and cashew butter too, and both are just as good!
The first time I tried it, I was a little nervous that it would be super peanuty — but honestly it sort of reminds me of Chicfila sauce! It’s fairly straight forward – you can do chicken tenders, chicken breast, chicken thigh, or even pork, etc. This might even be a good salmon marinade! But here we go.
Step 1: Prep – Ingredients
Step 2: Blend – yep. Take all those ingredients minus the chicken and blend them all up!
Step 3: Marinate – I just dump the chicken into a gallon ziplock bag and pour the marinade over. Let it sit at least for 4 hours – preferably overnight.
Step 4: Grill or bake
Step 5: Finished and ready to serve
