I am so glad you asked this question. This is my favorite recipe. When we first had them, we melted. I served these last month at our wine tasting event and everyone RAVED. I hope you like them as much as we do. If you don't them on skewers, I would just use chicken breasts and flatten them out a bit before marinating them. You could even do strips too and serve over rice. Yummy!





Ingredients:


1/2 cup creamy peanut butter


1 cup coconut milk


2 tablespoons fresh lime juice


2 tablespoons soy sauce


1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar


1 teaspoon ground ginger


2 garlic cloves, chopped


1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes


2 lbs chicken cutlets


30 wooden skewers, soaked for 30 mins





Directions:


mix first 8 ingredients, remove 3/4 and refrigerate.


cut chicken into strips and marinate in remaining sauce for 1 hour.


heat broiler, thread strips onto skewers and broil about 6 minutes.


bring refrigerated sauce to room temp and use as a dip for the chicken.
