Peanut Butter chicken balls stir fry 1_edited-1

Does it look funny?

It didn’t taste funny. In fact I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it before. Chicken peanut balls.  I mean, Chicken mince really can take on any flavour you like. We love the chicken and parmesan balls around here and we always have parmesan in the fridge but these, these just happened. I don’t really even know why but I reached for the crunchy roasted peanut butter and thusly The Peanut Butter Chicken stir fry (balls) were born.

Skater asked for more

That deserved a line of its own because that doesn’t happen all that often. Poor sad individual gets tortured with such terrible food, so it must be mentioned when he likes something. So with no special ingredients besides a crunchy  roasted peanut butter you should theoretically be able to whip this up in next to no time.

    It looks like a great family meal. And how wonderful that Skater enjoyed it. I’m always so relieved when everyone’s happy and there are no complaints. The peanut butter flavour would be lovely xx
