Photo: Chicken Sate with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe
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)

This recipe is amazing! Family and friends always love it. The peanut sauce is as good if not better than any I have ever had and the marinade for the chicken is delicious! I highly recommend this recipe.

I thought it was excellent. I'm not sure that 1 hour marinade time was enough, but it was excellent.

I have several chicken satay recipes that I would say are not as healthy as Ellie's version. The chicken was very tender and the spicy peanut dipping sauce was delicious.
