  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts into long, thin strips. Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour or for up to overnight.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the grill - high heat on one side and low heat on the other side.
