Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce and Pickled Cucumbers

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 whole lime
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 whole cucumber
• ¼ cup rice vinegar
• 8 whole skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice 1 cucumber into thin rounds and place in a bowl with 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Set aside to pickle.

2. 2

   Cut 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Toss chicken in marinade and thread onto skewers.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Warm over low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high. Cook skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through (no pink inside).

5. 5

   Serve skewers with peanut sauce and pickled cucumbers on the side. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts if you have them.
