Ingredients
  • Cooking spray (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 bunches broccolini (1 pound total)
  • 4 to 6 thin-cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets (1 to 1½ pounds total)
Instructions
  1. Place a rack 4 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  2. Whisk together brown sugar, peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, vinegar, water and lime juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside ¼ cup of the peanut sauce for serving.
  3. Brush broccolini and chicken with remaining sauce to coat, and arrange in a single layer on prepared pan. Broil until the chicken is just cooked through, the broccolini is well charred, and the sauce is bubbly and deeply browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning and flip chicken halfway through.
  4. Serve the chicken and broccolini hot from the oven with the reserved dipping sauce alongside.
