Grilled Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Hmmm. #1 Peanut sauce makes anything taste good. #2 The chicken was so good it didn't even need it. #3 BUT it was really good with it.

 Chicken Satay right off the grill

Spicy Peanut Sauce


Marinade:
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Hot Chili Oil
2 Tbsp. Finely Chopped Garlic
2 tsp. Curry Powder
1.5 lbs. Chicken Breasts, cut into 1.5" chunks

Peanut Sauce:
4 T. Soy Sauce
2 T.  Fresh Lemon Juice
2/3 C. Peanut Butter (use natural-- I used regular and it made it a little greasy)
3/4 C. Coconut Milk
1 tsp. Sugar in the Raw
1 T. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. White Vinegar

Mix all the ingredient of the marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken (either in Ziploc bag or casserole dish) and set aside for at least 30 minutes.

While chicken is marinating- over low heat mix the first 6 ingredients. Take off heat and add the vinegar and mix thoroughly. Taste-- may need to add a touch of salt or cayenne if you love the spice we do!

Place the chicken on long metal skewers, about 8 pieces each. Grill for about 2 minutes, rotate, 2 minutes, rotate, 2 minutes.

I served with fresh cut tomatoes, avocadoes and overcooked kale (total party foul on my part).


Look at the double drool..Ziggy definitely wanted to get into that peanut sauce!



Enjoy!
