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

Amazing recipe!! Try it!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was amazing!!! I doubled the sauce recipe because I didn't know what to do with the other half can of coconut... milk. Yes, it probably did take 15-25 min to cook, but the prep was more like 45 minutes... so give yourself a little extra time. The flavors come together like they were made for each other. The chicken by itself was very flavorful and could stand on it's own, but the peanut sauce was devine and was an added bonus!!! Thank you Food Network and Ellie Krieger for a delicious recipe, I will be making this again soon!!! Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The dipping sauce is so easy to make. It was so delicious that we used it to also dip veggies. The marinade was also easy... to make. I've always had a hard time grilling chicken; it would always dry out. This marinade kept the chicken very moist. Read more

Great as a wrap, too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My initial plan was to follow the recipe for the skewers and dipping sauce but when I found out half of my family was late... for an appointment, I made it into an on-the-go wrap. IFirst, I shredded the chicken and mixed it with the peanut sauce. I took whole-wheat tortillas that I had in the fridge, layered on some shredded carrots and baby spinach, then topped it with the chicken/peanut sauce mixture. I folded them up and they were on their way out the door. When my kids (6 & 9) returned they said they loved them. So this will be a keeper in my house. And like another reviewer stated...the sauce does keep well. I made wraps for myself with the leftovers for the next day's lunch.Read more

a Keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have fallen in love with Thai food, so I had to try this recipe. I must admit my expectations were somewhat low because I... never feel like I will be able to successfully produce an Asian dish since I was raised in the South. But I was pleasantly surprised when this turned out to be absolutely delicious. The chicken was very moist. The flavors carried through beautifully on the chicken. This recipe is a definite keeper!Read more
