Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to broil, and place a rack 4 inches from the heat. Line a sheet pan with foil or mist it with cooking spray.

Whisk together the brown sugar, peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, water and lime juice in a medium-size bowl until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup of the peanut sauce for serving.

Rub the Broccolini and chicken with the remaining peanut sauce to thickly coat, and arrange them in a tight single layer on the prepared pan. Broil, keeping a close eye on the pan to prevent burning, and flipping the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is just cooked through, the Broccolini is well-charred, and the sauce is bubbly and deeply browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Serve the chicken and Broccolini hot from the oven with the reserved dipping sauce alongside.
