Chicken Satay

Prep time: 2 hours 10 minutes (due to marinade)
Cook time: 20 minutes
Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients

1. 1 TBSP creamy peanut butter
2. 2 TBSP C low sodium soy sauce (definitely make sure you get low sodium, otherwise it’ll be a SALTY dish)
3. 1/4 C lemon or lime juice
4. 1-1/2 tsp brown sugar
5. 1 TBSP curry powder
6. 1 clove garlic, chopped
7. 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
8. 3 8oz boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
9. lime slices (optional)
10. skewers

Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine ingredients 1 - 7. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate. Let the chicken marinate at least 2 hours, overnight is best.

2. Preheat a grill to high heat (or a stove top on med-high heat)

3. Weave the chicken onto skewers, then grill for 5 minutes per side. (or no skewers and put in a pan for 5 minutes each. Or longer to get nice crunch on the outside from the marinade)

4. Serve with lime slices (optional)
How much easier can that be? Mix it, chop it, throw it all together and go sit down for a few hours, because you have nothing else to do, right? Then 10 min into cooking, you’re done!

Serve with Thai Peanut Sauce.

Thai Peanut Sauce

Looking for a very LOW COST thai peanut sauce?  Found this gem on Budget Bytes.  Tasty and goes quite perfectly with my chicken satay.

Total Cost: $1.75

Cost Per Serving: $0.22

Serves: 8 (1/4 cup ea.)

Ingredients

• ¾ cup natural style peanut butter $0.82
• ¼ cup coconut milk (optional) $0.16
• ½ lime juice $0.17
• 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, grated (optional) $0.24 (or 1/8 tsp dried ginger)
• 1 clove garlic, minced $0.06 (or 1/2 tsp minced)
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce (rooster hot sauce) $0.05
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce $0.03
• ½ tsp sesame oil (optional) $0.02
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.03
• ¼ bunch cilantro $0.17
• ¼ – ½ cup water $0.00

Instructions

1. Make sure your natural style peanut butter is thoroughly mixed before measuring (you don’t want to get all oil or all solids). In a blender or food processor combine all of the ingredients except the sriracha sauce. Begin with only ¼ cup of water and add more until you get the consistency you want (I used ½ cup total). Add the sriracha sauce a little at a time (blending between) until it is to your desired heat (I used about ½ tsp).
2. Enjoy the peanut sauce on salads, pasta or as a dipping sauce!
