Peanut Chicken with Mango Salsa

My sister-in-law served this for me the first time I met her and I thought it was exceptional!

Chicken Marinade

1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup chili sauce (or less depending on how spicy you like it)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T. oil
2 T. vinegar
4 cloves minced garlic
2 tsp. ground or grated ginger (or omit if you don't like the flavor of ginger)
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
12 chicken breasts

Combine hot water and penaut butter in a large bowl, mix until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Stab chicken breasts with a knife and then put in marinade. Let sit for 8 or more hours in the fridge. Grill over medium heat watching closely not to burn. Add more marinade as it cooks.

Mango Salsa

1 c. chopped fresh fruit:mangos, peaches and/or nectarines
1 c. chopped seeded cucumber (or use English cucumber)
2 T. thinly sliced green onions
2 T. cilantro
1 T. sugar
1 T. vinegar
1 T. salad oil

Combine all ingredients and chill for 1-2 hours. Serve with the chicken and brown rice. I like the brown rice form Trader Joe's than can just be taken from the freezer and thrown in the microwave.
