True story: When I met Brent back in 2010, I was living on salads, cereal, spaghetti and (store-bought frozen) meatballs. Every so often I would get the urge to make something that was relatively fancy or sophisticated. One go-to was a peanut butter curry. I would heat and stir peanut butter, milk, and curry powder in a sauce pan until melted and fully blended. Then, I would add some extra salt, pepper, garlic and/or red pepper flakes for extra heat. I typically cooked the chicken separately and simply slathered on the sauce just before serving.

Reflecting back on that, I have to laugh. I had no idea dairy was the cause of all my sinus issues and I never even thought to look at the peanut butter ingredients on the label; I just purchased whichever brand was cheapest! I’ve come a long way, but sometimes, I still crave that peanut butter curry. Even though we are not strict about legumes, I usually don’t buy peanut butter. So, when I planned this recipe, I decided to use almond butter. I made a few other enhancements, too, including using the tagine so it could all cook together and make the chicken super tender. I hope you enjoy it as much as Brent, Otto, and I did! (Yes, our nearly 11-month-old had some and loved it!)
