Oh-so-very-very-good!! I originally got this recipe from my friend Alan many years ago, and have tweaked it to my liking since. My favorite for summer grilling! You can make them indoors with grill pans, too.

These turned out great! I had to make a few adjustments to the groceries I had on hand. I didnt use pineapple so I substituted mushrooms, I used beef instead of poultry, I had to substitute orange juice for pineapple juice and lemon juice for lime juice. I only used 1 Tbs peanut butter since Hubby likes peanuts not peanut butter. He loved these, me too. I imagine if I followed the plans correctly they would have simply had a more distinct marinade flavour but it wasnt lacking either. Thanks!

    Outstanding flavor and oh-so-tender chicken. I marinated over night. I served over rice (with some olive oil, salt and dehydrated veggies--onion, carrots, and parsley). Thanks. This is a "keeper".
