Ingredients for the marinade:
¼ C soy
sauce
¼ C lemon
juice
2 T
vegetable oil
1 T sugar
Lime zest
2 lbs
boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
Ingredients for the peanut sauce:
2 heads garlic,
minced very fine
1 shallot,
minced very fine
2 T lime
juice – use fresh!
1 T brown
sugar
½ t
coriander (or more)
¼ t hot red
pepper flakes (or more)
¾ C peanut
butter
1 C coconut
milk (lite is fine…. I sometimes use the entire can)
Here’s what
you do:
Marinate the
chicken in the soy, lemon juice, vegetable oil, sugar and lime zest for no more
than 30 minutes. Arrange chicken on skewers, grill, baste with marinade.
Create the
sauce by mincing the garlic and shallot. Add the
remaining sauce ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a
small sauce pan and heat slowly. Sometimes I strain out the bits of garlic and
shallot, but that’s a personal preference.
Serve with cilantro-lime rice and veggies for a complete meal.
