Grilled Chicken Satay with Warm Peanut Sauce

I'm one of few Americans that can not understand the appeal of a PB & J, also known as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 

To me it's an utter abomination.

Now, a grilled peanut butter and bacon sandwich…. That I like

And peanut butter with chocolate, of course is a match made in heaven.

But peanut butter and peanut butter is my favorite….. With or without the benefit of a spoon.

Fresh ginger adds a bit of heat and a lot of flavor to the chicken.

If you like serious heat (I'm a wimp) add crushed red
pepper, Asian chili sauce or even Tabasco to the marinade and/or the
peanut sauce.

Chicken Satay with Warm Peanut Sauce

Grilled Chicken Satay with Warm Peanut Sauce

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless           300gr, 10.5oz
2 tbs lemon juice           30gr, 1oz
2 tbs soy sauce             32gr, 1.2oz
1 tbs brown sugar            9gr, .32oz
2 cloves garlic            6gr, .2oz
1 tbs fresh ginger, peeled and minced       11gr, .39oz
1 tsp chili powder           2.5gr, .09oz
2 – 4 skewers

Soak skewers in warm water while preparing chicken and making marinade.
Cut chicken breast into long strips, 3 or 4 from each breast. Thread the meat the long way onto the skewers, (sort of pleating it). Mix the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken skewers into a baking dish and pour marinade over. Allow to marinade for 20 – 40 minutes. When ready, remove from marinade and grill over direct heat for 8 – 10 minutes. Can also be done under the broiler (grill) for same amount of time.
Or, you could skip the skewers and stir-fry them in 1 tbs olive oil and 1 tsp sesame oil. Serve with Peanut Sauce on the side.

Warm Peanut Sauce

1/3 cup chunky peanut butter creamy will do if that is what you have           85gr, 3oz
2 tbs fresh snipped chives
1 tbs snipped fresh parsley
1 tsp chili powder           2.5gr, .9oz
1 tsp sesame oil           4.5gr, .16oz
2 tsp olive oil           9gr, .32oz
2 tsp soy sauce           10.6gr, .38oz
2 tsp lemon juice           10gr, .35oz
1 tsp brown sugar           3gr, 1.05oz
1/3 cup chicken stock           75gr, 2.65oz

Heat oils in small saucepan. Add chives and chili powder and sauté briefly. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

  1. Only because we have good history behind us Katie can I forgive that you don’t like PB&J sandwiches. I know I shouldn’t … but I’m sure I will now try it with bacon. Actually, I pick mayo over jelly given the choice.
    LOVE this satay. Great photo.
