Cooking Recipe Chicken Sat? With Peanut Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

ARINADE

1 tb Light brown sugar

1 tb Curry powder

2 tb Crunchy peanut butter

1/2 c Soy sauce

1/2 c Freshly squeezed lime juice

2 Garlic cloves, minced

Crushed dried chile peppers--------------------------

6 Chicken breast halves,

ÿboned, skinned, and cut

ÿinto 1/2" wide strips

PEANUT SAUCE

2/3 c Crunchy peanut butter

1 1/2 c Coconut milk, unsweetened

1/4 c Freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tb Soy sauce

2 tb Molasses (or brown sugar)

1 ts Fresh ginger root, grated

4 Garlic cloves, minced

1/4 c Chicken broth

1/4 c Heavy cream

Cayenne pepper

Grated lime zest

Fresh cilantro sprigs

Directions

To make the marinade, combine the first 7 ingredients in a shallow
dish. Thread the chicken strips onto bamboo skewers in a serpentine
fashion. Place the skewers into the soy sauce mixture and let
marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, although overnight is
preferable. Make the peanut sauce by combining the next 7 ingredients
(peanut butter through garlic) in a saucepan. Season to taste with
cayenne pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until
the sauce is as thick as heavy cream (about 15 minutes). Transfer to
a food processor or blender and pur?e briefly. Add chicken broth and
cream and blend until smooth. This mixture can be made several hours
ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature
before serving. Prepare moderate-hot charcoal coals or preheat a
broiler. Cook the skewered chicken, turning several times and basting
with the marinade, until crispy on the outside but still moist on the
inside, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle grilled chicken with lime zest and
garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
