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

very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the best sate sauce I've ever made, but I didn't use the low-sodium chicken broth and soy sauce....it was too salty... because of that. One thing to note, I didn't see anywhere to heat the sauce and since it had chicken broth in it, I felt it needed to be heated. I put it on a low heat, stirring consantly until just about to a boil.

Indonesian Food Rocks
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was born in Holland but raised in Canada. Indonesian cooking is a staple in Dutch homes because Indonesia was a colony of... Holland for a couple centuries. I've made several versions of Sate, but this is definetly the best so far!! I omitted the shallot because you want the garlic and chiles to shine. We always serve sate (pork or chicken) with another traditional Indonesian dish...Bami GorengRead more

Felt like I was at a Thai restaurant
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was SO delicious. We especially loved the peanut dipping sauce. We ate this as our main course with a "fancy" basmati... dish (onions, cilantro, canola oil, tumeric, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, chicken stock). Also served with steamed broccoli tossed with teryaki sauce. I like the idea of cutting the pieces and frying in peanut oil. Thankfully our weather permitted grilling so it was outstanding.Read more

Very Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe especially the peanut dipping sauce. I didn't have a grill to use for the chicken, so instead I cut... the chicken into 1" squares and stir fried the pieces in a wok with a little bit of peanut oil. I then arranged the chicken on a dish with the peanut sauce in a bowl in the middle and put toothpicks in the chicken pieces and guests could just take one and dip in the sauce. Everyone loved this recipe, absolutely would make again. Read more
