Five-Spice Chicken Breasts With Hoisin Sauce image

This recipe calls for boneless chicken breasts WITH the skin on. This is a quick recipe- Most of the prep/cook time is just spent allowing the chicken to marinate. While this recipe uses the grill, I don't see why you can't do it on the stove top or under the broiler with a little modification. From Cooking Light.
