Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

You guys... feast your eyes on THIS.



Tender chicken satay laced onto skewers, just waiting to be dipped into this AMAZING peanut sauce.  This is seriously one of my favorite homemade meals.  It's really like take-out, but at home.  Not to mention so much better for you because we know exactly what's going into it.  It's also really easy to whisk together and the hardest part about it all is just waiting for the chicken to marinade because it smells soooooo good.  Bonus if you throw together your own fried rice.  I love to make a big ass batch of homemade fried rice because... leftovers.  That in itself could make great leftovers for lunch but my personal fav is if by some chance I have leftover chicken, I just tear it up, throw it into the rice and spoon the peanut sauce over it all.  OMG. Heaven.

So, make extras.  Trust me.  You'll thank me later.

In the summertime I grill the chicken skewers.  But cold weather doesn't stop me and I just throw it under the broiler for a few minutes during the colder months here in MN.  Just as delicious!  I've also made this with beef and that's super yummy as well.

Are you ready to make a meal your whole family will adore??  Here's what you need:

Chicken Satay

*1-1.5 lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts (of sirloin steak), cut into strips

*2 Tbls soy sauce

*2 Tbls lemon juice (fresh is best!)

*one Tbls honey

*one Tbls sesame oil

*2 cloves of garlic, crushed

*one tspn fresh ginger, grated or paste

*one tspn curry powder

Cut chicken lengthwise into strips and place into a ziplock bag.  In a small bowl, whish together the rest of the ingredients and pour over the chicken.  Marinade for at least a few hours.  (I usually get to ready in the AM and let it marinade throughout the day.)  Soak your skewers in water for about 10 minutes (this prevents them from burning while on the grill or under the broiler) and then thread the chicken onto the skewers.  Grill on medium high heat for about 4 minutes per side or set under the broiler for about 4 minutes per side.  I set my broiler to 425.

Serve warm or at room temp with peanut sauce for dipping.  (recipe below)

Peanut Sauce

*3 Tbls chicken broth

*3 Tbls peanut butter

*3 Tbls soy sauce

*one Tbls honey

*one Tbls brown sugar

*2 Tbls lime juice

*2 cloves garlic, minced

*one tspn ginger, grated or paste

*1/2 tspn sesame oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.  Or if you have a jar with a lid, use that and shake, shake, shake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Sounds easy enough, right??  Give it a try and let me know what you think!
