Step 1
Start by mixing together the lemon juice, peanut butter, tomato puree, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a big bowl until everything is smooth and well combined. Next, take your chicken breasts and gently pound them to about half an inch thick using a meat mallet or the side of a sturdy plate. Toss the chicken into the marinade, making sure each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour—longer if you can, to really let the flavors soak in.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat some olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. Take the chicken out of the marinade, shaking off any excess (discard the marinade), and place the breasts in the pan. Cook them for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and the juices run clear. The chicken might stick a bit because of the sugar and peanut butter, but that little char actually adds a tasty, smoky touch. Once done, serve and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is packed with bold, savory flavors and a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The marinade tenderizes the meat, making each bite juicy and delicious. It’s a great way to enjoy grilled chicken with an Asian twist that’s easy to prepare.
How to serve
Serve with steamed jasmine rice and a side of crunchy cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast. A drizzle of peanut sauce or a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro will add extra flavor. Grilled vegetables also make a great accompaniment.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on a grill pan to keep the chicken moist. Avoid overcooking when reheating to maintain tenderness.
