Step 1
Mix together the lemon juice, peanut butter, tomato puree, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a big bowl until everything is combined and smooth.

Step 2
Use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy dish to gently pound the chicken breasts until they’re about half an inch thick. Toss the chicken into the marinade and give it a good stir to make sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes—if you have more time, letting it sit longer really helps the flavors soak in.

Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. Take the chicken out of the marinade, discarding the leftover liquid, and cook the breasts in the hot oil. They might stick to the pan a bit because of the sugar and peanut butter, but that’s okay—it’ll give the chicken a tasty, slightly charred crust. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until the chicken is browned and the juices run clear.
