• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup peanut butter, reduced-fat preferred
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 4 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1⁄2 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 2 green onions, slivered
• 1⁄4 cup chopped unsalted dry roasted peanuts

directions

1. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, chicken broth, garlic, curry powder, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Put half the sauce in a large zip top bag and add the chicken. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 2-12 hours. Put remaining sauce in a bowl, wrap with plastic and refrigerate.
2. Preheat broiler. Wrap broiler pan and drip pan in foil to reduce cleanup. Poke holes through foil on broiler pan to allow juices to drip through. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Place chicken on broiler pan, and brush with 1/2 the reserved sauce. Broil 6 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken, and brush with remaining sauce. Continue broiling 6 to 8 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with green onions and peanuts, and serve.
