Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter1/4 cup light coconut milk2 tbsp rice vinegar2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves,
plus additional for garnish1 tbsp raw honey1 tbsp fresh lime juice1 tbsp minced fresh ginger1 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari1/2 tsp red pepper flakes1 clove garlic, mincedOlive oil cooking spray12 oz green beans, trimmed2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch chunks (NOTE: Make sure to dice potatoes no larger than directed, as they should cook through in the same amount
of time as the chicken.)1 red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch slices1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
cut into 1-inch pieces
1.Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat oven to 450ΊF.
2.In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, milk, vinegar, 2 tbsp cilantro, honey, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, pepper flakes and garlic. Set aside.
3.Cut 4 12 x 16-inch pieces of foil and mist with cooking spray. Divide green beans, potatoes and onion evenly into the center of each piece of foil. Divide chicken and peanut butter mixture between foil pieces, over top vegetables. Bring the short edges of the foil together, then fold inward a few times along each long edge to seal.
4.Place foil packets directly on the grill or on a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Grill or bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. (NOTE: Carefully open a single packet to check, then reseal if needed.) Transfer contents of packets to serving bowls and garnish with additional cilantro.
