Grilled Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut Sauce
I have always LOVED chicken satay skewers, but never really thought about making them until my roommate Jamie told me how she always enjoyed them as a kid. I mean, what isn't to love?? I must admit, I am SLIGHTLY (wildly) obsessed with the peanut sauce included in the recipe, and think I would honestly eat tree bark if I could slather this sauce on it. It's unreal. And really easy to make, throw all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Ideal if you ask me. These chicken skewers are simple, tender and absolutely delicious. I served ours alongside a red cabbage, green apple and edamame slaw with ginger, mint and basil. A perfectly light and summery meal. I hope you love these as much as we do!
