Did you say Satay?

So I tried a new recipe and it was a hit. We had grilled Chicken Satay a couple of nights ago and WOW, we all loved it! Ben ate three skewers of chicken and he rarely eats three of anything so we considered it a success. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing them too.

I should have taken a picture when the plate was full but you have to watch yourself when you're feeding hungry boys!

I looked up several recipes for this dish but couldn't find one that I liked so I have combined several and modified them to fit our taste.

Chicken Satay with Peanut dipping Sauce:

1 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (I used thighs)

1 bottle - Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame dressing/marinade

Chopped green onions (optional)

Chopped cilantro(optional)

Wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes.

Cut chicken breasts or thighs into strips and place in large plastic bag. Pour marinade into bag with chicken and marinate in the refridgerator 3 to 5 hours. Reserve 1/2 a cup of the marinade. Thread chicken strips onto skewers. Grill skewers over medium heat approximately 8 to 10 minutes on each side, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

1/2 C peanut butter

1 TBS brown sugar

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 TBS soy sauce

1/4 C rice wine vinegar

red chile flakes ( to taste )

Combine all ingredients and blend well. Serve with chicken skewers.

I served the Satay with yellow Saffron rice and green beans. If you decide to try it, be sure to let me know how it turns out!
