Directions

1. Trim chicken of excess fat and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
2. Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning often, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes total.
3. Remove chicken to a plate and pour off all but 1 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and cook, stirring to pick up any browned bits on bottom of skillet. Stir in peanut butter and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring, until sauce is smooth and creamy. (If sauce appears too thick, add more water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, to reach desired consistency.) Stir in crushed red pepper.
4. Return chicken to skillet; turn to coat with sauce. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove chicken to serving platter. Skim off any excess fat from sauce, stir in lime juice and 1 Tbsp. cilantro, if using, and spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro, if desired, and serve.
