Notes

Optional: Garnish with lime wedge and fresh cilantro.
You can use any other nut butter as a substitute if needed.
Roughly chop yellow onion, it's getting blended in the sauce so no need to fine dice or be precise.
For optimal flavor use bone-in chicken thighs but all cuts of chicken will work for this dish.
