A spicy, fun way to dress up the boneless skinless chicken breasts we always have on hand. These work as a main dish for a weeknight meal, or a different appetizer or snack for a casual party. Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 inch piece lemongrass |
1 tablespoon asian chili sauce (like sriracha) |
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves |
1/2 lime, juice of |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
16 bamboo skewers |
1/2 lime, juice of |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon cardamom |
Directions:
1. Combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor and mix. Thin as needed with a little water or rice vinegar, just until sauce is smooth. It will be very thick at this stage. This is okay!
2. Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into four strips. Toss strips with lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar and cardamom. Allow to sit in this mixture for about an hour.
3. Preheat grill or broiler, and cook chicken until done and lightly browned.
4. Warm sauce in a small saucepan, and drizzle over cooked chicken, or serve on the side for dipping.
