Two tomatoes aren't enough for all the peanuts. I tried this again with three large tomatoes and left the other ingredients as is. It came out just fine. Also...for those who complained the sauce was bland...be sure to use the adobo from the can of chipotle chiles, not bottled adobo sauce. That's where you get the heat!

If you follow the recipe you will end up with crunchy peanut butter and chicken...thats exactly what it tastes like--nothing special. The tomato and the adobe sauce get lost in the sauce. So of course, I had to "save" the peanut sauce and my meal! Because the peanut sauce is thick, I added some of the water from the boiled tomatoes in the blender. I added some chipotle sauce to my liking and garlic powder. Instead of mixing the sauce with the chicken, I arranged the chicken on my plate and drizzled the peanut sauce over. I added sauteed onions and red bellpeppers over the sauce--which made ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

I used this recipe as a base and flavored it to my taste. I added garlic, more adobo sauce as well as salt and pepper. I didn't have any sesame seeds or cilantro that day so we topped it with peanuts and lettuce as well as sour cream. It was really such a different way to have chicken in our house.
