PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE CHICKEN
An invention of mine to make use of some leftover chicken breasts. Its ingredients mainly belong to the Far-Eastern cuisine, but it also has a slight Latin twist and a Lebanese hint! ENJOY

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEANUT BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE
Peanut butter is the surprise guest in this spicy-sweet barbecue sauce, which cooks up in just 10 minutes. This versatile sauce, which adds nutty richness and depth, keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge and also freezes well. You'll have quite a bit: This recipe yields 2 cups of sauce. It's great to have on hand, doing double-duty as a sauce or a fantastic marinade for chicken or baby back ribs. (If allergies are a concern, substitute in almond butter for the peanut butter.) Serve with sautéed green beans, roasted broccoli or coleslaw.

Steps:
- Make the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil. Add onion and cook over moderate medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized and deepened in color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and 6 tablespoons water. Simmer until flavors are combined, and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Make the chicken: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, oil and 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat and arrange on the rack. Roast, using a brush to baste with the remaining 1/2 cup sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and deep golden in color, about 30 minutes. Serve with the leftover sauce on the side, or store sauce in the refrigerator for later use.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STEW IN PEANUT BUTTER TOMATO SAUCE: MAFE
Steps:
- In a large pot, heat oil until hot and brown chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken temporarily.
- In the same frying pan, add the onions and stir until soft and slightly brown. Add the tomato paste and salt, and stir well.
- Add all the prepared vegetables and fish sauce to the pot. Return the chicken to the pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, stir, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Check the vegetables to avoid overcooking, removing them in a bowl as they are done.
- When all the vegetables are cooked and removed from the stew, add the peanut butter or "tigadege", 1 tablespoon at a time to make sure it is well dissolved in the broth. Add the Scotch bonnet pepper, if using and simmer until broth thickens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Return all the vegetables to the pot and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve over white rice.
CURRY CHICKEN & PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE
Was needing an alternative way for doing chicken & made up this recipe. It has a smooth sauce & gives you the type of heat that you can feel when you swallow but doesn't burn your mouth. Very satisfying!

- Notes:.
- Can debone chicken after it's cooked & add back to sauce before serving.
- If the sauce gets too thick during cooking, add a little more chicken stock or broth.
- (No measurements were used in the making of this dish so I had to approximate how much I used. Add all to your own tastes.).
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Quality Ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients you can afford. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from burning.
- Simmer the Sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken it up.
- Serve Immediately: Peanut butter sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It will start to thicken as it cools.
