The chicken was so moist and tender and all the flavors was popping. The chicken is marinated soy sauce, peanut butter,garlic and lime. I used chicken breasts for this recipe but you can also use any other boneless cut you prefer. And if grilling is not your cooking method of choice you can broil it in the oven placed on a rack 4 inches away from heat source. You can serve with lime wedges or soy dipping sauce ( recipe below).
Ingredients:
serves 4
1 1/2 pound of boneless chicken cut in about 1 inch thickness
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tbs peanut oil (vegetable or canola)
2 tbs minced garlic
2 tbs fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper ( you can add more if you like it more spicy)
2 tbs peanut butter
1 medium onion quartered
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except chicken and onions and mix well.
Add chicken and onions and massage the marinade on the chicken until all chicken is well coated.
Marinade for at least 4 hours.
Grill or broil on medium heat about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked.
Soy dipping sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbs rice vinegar or sake (or a fruit white wine or a tbs of cider or white vinegar mixed with 1 tbs water)
2 tbs dark sesame oil
1 tbs sugar
2 large cloves garlic minced
1 tbs minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup minced scallions
Mix all ingredients until well combined and sugar is dissolved. Use immediately or refrigerate for 2 days.
