Grilled Chicken Breast with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

Tender, juicy chicken breasts char grilled on the outdoor grill to perfection and smothered in a spicy peanut sauce. The marinade is an amazing flavor that goes magically with the flavors in the peanut sauce. Don't skip the marinade, it also makes the chicken tender and moist.

Categories     Main Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Spicy Peanut Sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a shallow bowl or re-sealable plastic bag.
  • Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound each of them with a meat mallet so they are an even thickness.
  • Place the chicken in the soy marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prep your grill. The grill should be moderately hot (see below)
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry then place on the hot grill. Cook on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through (see below for internal temperature)
  • If the chicken gets browned too fast and the center is not cooked completely, move the chicken breasts to a cooler zone on the grill until they are completely cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with spicy peanut sauce.

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds total; or substitute chicken wings)
Grapeseed oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium limes, zested and juiced
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Asian chile paste, such as sambal oelek
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon tamari
2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced on a bias
1/3 cup roughly chopped and packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F or a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
  • Place the thighs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil until fully coated; liberally season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken skin-side down, covered, until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes (or up to 20 minutes, if using a grill pan). Check on the thighs occasionally to make sure they aren't burning. Flip the chicken and grill, covered, until crispy and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lime zest and juice with the peanut butter, chile paste, honey, tamari and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together and taste for seasoning. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
  • When the chicken is ready, remove it to a platter or a large shallow bowl. Drizzle with some of the sauce then sprinkle with the scallions, cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the zesty peanut sauce while the chicken is cooking: The zesty peanut sauce is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the chicken. You can make the sauce in a blender or food processor in just a few minutes.
  • Serve the grilled chicken with the zesty peanut sauce and your favorite sides: The grilled chicken and zesty peanut sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken breast with zesty peanut sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the peanut sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
