The recipe title Peanut Butter Chicken intrigued me as did the list of ingredients. What a unique combination of flavors and one I'd certainly never put together, really quite delicious.
I've tried it all sorts of ways, but my favorite is grilled on the bar-b-que.
In a small saucepan combine the following ingredients:
1/2 C creamy peanut butter
1/2 C water
1/4 C soy sauce
2 tsp. minced garlic
3 T lemon juice
2 T brown sugar
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
Cook and stir over medium to high heat for 5 minutes or until smooth. Set half of the sauce aside.
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Option #1:
Slice chicken into strips about 1" wide and as long as the breast. Place onto skewers which have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes.
Option #2:
Leave breasts whole.
Brush chicken with sauce often while grilling. Skewers will take 4-6 minutes to cook. Whole breasts, of course, will take longer.
Serve chicken with reserved sauce and sprinkled with sliced green onion tops (optional). However, no onions in my family. :(
Something to consider: This is one recipe I wish I'd never had my kids help me prepare. The ingredients have scared a few away from eating it.
