Spicey Peanut butter chicken

So, as I've said on here before, I've started dating somebody. One of her (many) best qualities is that she is an amazing cook. At first, I thought this would be an issue because my only exposure to her cooking before we started dating was baked good. For example, one night of the bowling league, she made butterbeer cupcakes for everyone.

They tasted as good as they looked. 

So, yeah, I was worried about this diet of mine. Thankfully, she is also really good at making other foods and she is helping me find recipes that are delicious AND on my diet. As my friend Spencer recently wrote "making food is like her super power."

So, here is the recipe for her spicey peanut butter chicken.

-1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
-1 1/2 tsp grated corriander
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp cayenne
-1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tablsp. lemon juice
- 1 tblsp brown sugar
- 3 tblsp soy sauce
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 minced clove of garlic
- 2 lbs diced chicken breast

Mix all ingredients well. Add chicken tossing to coat well. Allow to marinate at least 2 hours. Broil for 7 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to broil for another 7 minutes or until chicken is done. 

Seen here with a side of delicious steamed green beans tossed in a garlic mustard vinaigrette. 
Yeah, she knows how it's done.
