I found the instructions easy, but It's important to realize there are several steps needed. As I was visiting the grandkids, I did a bit here and a bit there over the day so I could spend more time with them. Make marinade, cut chicken breasts into strips, add to marinade, and finish the peanut sauce was done in the morning. Sides were prepped in the afternoon, then finished later while the chicken was baking. The timing worked out great.
I drizzled part of the peanut sauce on the strips, and served the rest in a bowl for dipping or to spoon on. For my sides I served couscous cooked in chicken broth and and stir fried veggies (broccoli, yellow pepper, red pepper and onion) which I only seasoned with salt and pepper.
