  1. Delicious! This was also as easy to make as advertised. I used the textured end of the meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken, and found that the flavor penetrated very well that way. I also used my Foreman Grill to cook it - I made 2 breasts (cooking them one at a time) and I don't think it took 15 minutes. Thanks!
     
  2. I have been so tired of the same old dried out chicken,I hardly even buy chicken breasts anymore because they are always so boring....not anymore...WOW!Loved this so much! I did make a few changes to the recipe because I didn't have everything on hand.I reduced this recipe to 2 servings.I used 2 chicken breasts,2 tbsp garlic hoisin sauce,1/2 tbsp peanut butter and 2 tbsp soy sauce.I omitted the sesame oil and the hot pepper oil.I marinated the entire concoction for 2 days.The chicken was super tender,it was excellent.I put it on the BBQ and served it with a salad.Once it was cooked I added sesame seeds and green onions to the chicken.
     
  3. Very good! I like using this recipe for OAMC as there isn't significant acid in the marinade, which can make chicken mushy when marinating for an extended period (like in the freezer). Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I made this last night. I followed the recipe and grilled our chicken. DH and enjoyed it. DH and I did use the left-overn sauce after we sliced our chicken. Pounding the breasts made the grilled breasts super tender and juicy, when grilled. We had it wlth Grilled Peppers and Broccohli. This recipe is a keeper. However, I would like to add some Ginger to the Sauce, for the Chicken In my mind this recipe is flexible for manys ways. With the Lettuce Leaves, with Ramen Noodles and as a Stir Fry. Ican't wait to try all the ways. Thank you PalatablePastime.
     
  5. Made last night, both myself and husband loved it. Used my George Forman grill and it turned out great. Juicy and flavorful, will definitely serve again.
