Grilled Chicken with Peanut Sauce

1.In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

2.Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

3.Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4.While the chicken grills, make the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, and sriracha (if using). Whisk until smooth and gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, adding water as needed to reach a creamy, pourable consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

5.Slice the grilled chicken and arrange on a platter. Drizzle generously with peanut sauce, and sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro.

6.Serve with sliced cucumber, fresh mint, and lime wedges on the side for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy immediately.
