- 3 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced (or 2-3 Limes)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 8 ounces, weight Broccolini
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 whole Onion, Sliced Thick
- 8 ounces, weight Thin Spaghetti Or Angel Hair, Cooked And Drained

Preparation
Make the marinade/sauce by whisking together olive oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire, lemon juice, garlic, and cayenne. Taste and add more honey, soy, or lemon juice depending on your taste. Pour off 1/2 cup of the sauce and save in the fridge for later. Place the chicken in the bowl, cover with the sauce, and refrigerate for 2 hours to marinate.
When you’re ready to cook, toss the broccolini with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat a large grill pan (or an outdoor grill) over medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil, then place the chicken, broccolini, and onion slices on the surface. Cook until the chicken is done, about 5-7 minutes per side, being careful to turn the broccolini to keep it from burning. (If the chicken is thick, you’ll want to get it started before you add the broccolini to the grill.) You want the broccolini to get nice and brown/grilled but not char. Cook onions until they’re brown and softened.
Before serving, heat the reserved sauce in a small skillet until bubbly. Remove from the heat and toss with the noodles.
To serve, pile noodles on a plate with a chicken breast, some of the broccolini, and a grilled onion slice. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve with extra soy sauce.
