Ingredients

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup lite coconut milk
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 shallot, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce (or 2 additional teaspoons low sodium soy sauce)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast pounded slightly and cut into 1-inch strips

Directions

8 (8-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked for 20 minutes

3/4 cup Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce, recipe below
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped toasted peanuts

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, shallot, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime zest, and ginger. Add the chicken strips and marinate for 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Spray a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high flame. While pan is heating, thread chicken onto skewers. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, until meat is cooked through and has light grill marks.

Serve chicken skewers with Peanut Dipping Sauce, and garnish with basil or cilantro and chopped peanuts.

Yield: 4 servings (2 skewers and 2 tablespoons peanut sauce per serving)

Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon red curry paste
1 shallot, peeled and roughly chopped

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Sauce can be made 1 day ahead of time, and will keep 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Yield: about 1 1/4 cups

Excellent with a few alterations!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This turned out soo great! I remade the sauce because the first one was too salty. 2 Tbs of light soy sauce instead of 3. I... added 7 drops of Stevia. The roasted peanuts with cilantro really makes this dish! I also had celery and carrots to dip and it was great!Read more

Yummy Chicken
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The marinate for the chicken was really good! I made this on an indoor grill/skillet rather than on the BBQ. I think next... time I will set aside some marinade, so I can baste the chicken while it cooks too. Read more

delicious!

Easy and delicious. I prefer dipping sauces a bit sweeter, so I doubled the brown sugar.

The Best!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this sauce since her show debuted. Everyone I make it for declares it is better than any sauce they can... get at a Thai restaurant. I love to triple the sauce recipe and freeze it in small portions so I can add it to stir-fries. It is incredible easy to make too! The chicken marinade is out of this world. Never thought chicken could taste so good!!!Read more

Peanut Sauce tastes exactly like you get at an Asian restaurant w/ veggie rolls
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night and everyone loved it. The peanut sauce is great. The only thing I would do differently next time is... leave the shallot out. I thought it was not necessary. The peanut sauce tastes almost exactly like what you get at an Asian restaurant when you order spring rolls. Read more
