How to Make Aesop's Fabled Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1/4 cup chicken broth or orange juice.
  2. (Optional) For easier mixing, microwave peanut butter and butter on low power for 15-20 seconds to soften.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once halfway through.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Coat each chicken breast evenly in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  8. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the chicken.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
