Ingredients
- 1/2 c smooth peanut butter (no added salt or sugar)
- 5 T soy sauce
- 1 T brown sugar
- 2 T water
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
- 1 t dried crushed red chilies (or 1/2 t chili flakes), or to taste
- 1/4 t ground cinnamon
- 4 T butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 whole chicken breasts (~2 pounds), halved
Preparation
In a blender or food processor, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, lemon juice, chilies, and cinnamon.
Put the mixture in a saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and melt; simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Put the onion and chicken breasts in a single layer in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour on the marinade and let stand, covered, for 12-24 hours in the refrigerator.
Prepare the grill or heat the broiler. Cook the chicken about 7-8 inches from the flame for about 4-5 minutes on each side, turning several times during the cooking process.
