Dressing:
Whisk together 1/2 cup italian salad dressing, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 Tabelspoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.


Note:
I did NOT use cilantro, i don't really care for it, i replaced it with parsley.
Next time, I will stir fry the chicken, that is faster. I used crunchy peanut butter, my all time favorite.
