This was awesome! I used all chicken (combined breasts and thighs). I wasn't sure if I should add the salt, since my peanut butter had salt in it, but 1 tsp salt was just right. I only used 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes, because I didn't want to make it too spicy for the kids... this gave it the tiniest hint of spice, and I think I could add a little more next time (although it wouldn't be necessary - it was still delicious!) I served it with a side of mashed sweet potatoes, which was a BRILLIANT suggestion, and I will make it this way every time.

Here's the way I made my mashed sweet potatoes: Peel and cook whole sweet potatoes (I did 5) in the microwave. When cooked, mash and add 1 Tbsp butter and 1/4 cup milk. Perfect!
