Grilled Chicken Breasts with Zesty Peanut Sauce

This sweet, savory and slightly spicy recipe starts with our rich Swanson broth.  We combine the broth with ingredients that deliver both flavor and texture.   Marinating the chicken in the broth mixture infuses flavor while tenderizing and adding moisture to the chicken.  Heat the remaining mixture and serve over the grilled chicken to maximize the flavor.  To complete this dish, try serving the chicken and sauce over greens with some shredded carrots and cucumber.
