Marinade:

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons JIF® Creamy (or extra crunchy) Peanut Butter
• 1/4 cup CRISCO® All-Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced

Peanut Sauce:

• 1 cup JIF® Creamy (or extra crunchy) Peanut Butter
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger root

How to make Chicken with Peanut Sauce:

• Wash, trim and pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Combine chicken and next 8 ingredients in a plastic bag. Marinate 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Combine the JIF®, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and cayenne in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 15 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in the stock and cream. Cook 1 minute more, whisking; set aside.
• Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade and place on a hot grill. Grill until browned - about 4 to 6 minutes on each side (or until center is no longer pink) - turning only once.
• Serve hot topped with the peanut sauce. Sprinkle with the cilantro.
