Healthy Chicken Breast Recipe-02

Chicken is wonderful source of protein and it is one of my favorite. What you need is to make it tasty with marinading. In the diet that I follow we can use limited amount of oil, acid, and buts. This chicken is marinaded with a sauce made of peanut butter, fresh herbs, lime and spices.

You can make the peanut butter at home from unsalted peanut or find the ready one in the store without salt and sugar. You have a choice of any other nuts like, Almond, Cashew or Walnut. You can BBQ it right after marinading, but it would be better if you leave in in the fridge overnight. You can have as much as green leaf vegetables steamed or raw for side but if you are going to marinade and grill you have limited amount af them. In this recipe I added half of tomato, asparagus, and zucchini.
