It’s taste merely like a Chicken Satay with spicy peanut sauce.  Chicken breasts is less in fat but cooking in this method, the chicken still taste juicy and tender. The greens provide a healthy fiber sources. All sauces from scratch, so healthy! A final sprinkle of lime zest and a squeeze of lime juices balance up the creaminess taste of the peanut butter. It is easy to prepare, quick to cook and totally delicious!!! Bon appétit!!!
