Marinate chicken breast with this sauce and grill until done.

This recipe freeze very well. You can transfer the sauce in a freezer-safe box and freeze for a few months.
Just thaw it over the counter for a few hours or microwave until it comes to room temperature when you want to use it.
How to make it using Peanuts?
While most recipes to make Thai Peanut Sauce calls for Peanut Butter, you can also make this using roasted whole peanuts.
After all, peanut butter is nothing but roasted peanuts blended until it becomes buttery.
Replace the mentioned peanut butter in the recipe with 1/2 cup of roasted skinless peanuts.
Keep the remaining process the same. Blend until everything comes together and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
If you like coarse sauce, you can keep some pieces of peanuts coarse.
