Chicken Satays with Thai Peanut Sauce



Memorial Day weekend is upon us.  If you're having guests over, fire up the grill.  This way, the food is done and you can set it out for people to eat as they please.  So super easy.  That frees you up for the fun stuff like lawn games, catching up with friends, and frosty drinks in the cooler.  Yippee, summer's here!!


 WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Each chicken breast makes 3 satays, and I usually plan on 2-3 per person, so buy as many chicken breasts as you will need to feed your friends

your favorite store-bought thai peanut sauce (mine is in the international aisle at the grocery store)

salt/pepper/lemon pepper/garlic powder

1 lemon, sliced in half

dry roasted, salted peanuts

olive oil

12-inch wooden skewers

NOTE:  Serve with chilled vegetables and some hummus or tzatziki, to take the heat off the peanut sauce.  I like radishes, carrots, red bell pepper, and cucumber but use your favorites


This is my favorite peanut sauce, spiiicccyyyy...


Soak skewers in water for a few minutes so they don't catch on fire on the grill

Slice chicken breasts lengthwise into threes and insert the skewers.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the spices.  

Grill chicken until done and remove to platter.
Also grill the lemon, cut side down, and squeeze onto the skewers while the chicken is still hot so the juice soaks in.

Chop a handful of peanuts.  Place sauce in a bowl and sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top.
Serve with fresh vegetables on the side
