1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup peanut butter (any kind)

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

4 boned, skinned chicken breast halves (about 2 lbs.)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Step 1

Prepare a grill for high heat (450° to 550°). In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook garlic and peanut butter together until simmering, about 4 minutes. Whisk in sugar, chile flakes, soy sauce, and 2/3 cup water. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until starting to thicken, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, rub chicken with oil and grill until golden brown and almost cooked through, turning once, about 6 minutes total. Brush about 1 tbsp. peanut sauce over each chicken piece and cook just until sauce starts to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Serve with steamed vegetables and remaining sauce on the side.
