Quick Grilled Chicken

4 servings

20 minutes

Quick grilled chicken is a vibrant embodiment of Chinese cuisine, combining depth of flavor with simplicity of preparation. The dish's origins stem from traditional Asian recipes that use rich marinades to impart a unique aroma to the meat. Hoisin and soy sauce combined with peanut butter and garlic create a harmony of sweetness, umami, and a light nutty note. The chicken breast, tenderized before cooking, becomes juicy and infused with marinade, while grilling gives it an appetizing golden crust. Serving on a crispy iceberg lettuce leaf adds freshness, and a side of noodles or stewed peas completes the picture. It's the perfect dish for a quick dinner that captivates with its richness and exquisite balance of flavors.
