Peanut Butter Chicken is a delicious fusion of flavors, combining the richness of peanut butter with the savory notes of soy sauce and the subtle sweetness of honey. The addition of garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes adds depth and complexity to this easy-to-make dish. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend barbecue!
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1/2 cup peanut butter. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons honey. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon grated ginger. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. 2 tablespoons sesame oil. 2 green onions, chopped for garnish. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish.
Instructions: In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil to make the marinade. Add chicken breasts to a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through, with no pink in the center and juices running clear. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of chicken breasts. Once cooked, remove chicken from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Then, slice chicken breasts diagonally. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
