INSTRUCTIONS
1. To prepare the sauce, whisk all the sauce
ingredients together. Marinate the chicken with about ½ cup sauce. Bring the
remaining sauce to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 30 minutes while it
reduces and thickens.
2. Cook the quinoa according to package
instructions.
3. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with ½ cup sauce. Refrigerate the marinate and let
it all hang out for 30 minutes or so, while the sauce thickens. Shake off
excess marinade and transfer to a hot grill pan or skillet. Cook the chicken
for a few minutes on each side, until no longer pink, brushing periodically
with the thickened sauce.
4. Plate the quinoa on a large platter and top
with the chicken. Brush the extra sauce on the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with
cilantro, peanuts, and chili flakes and serve.
