Description

A bright, nutty Thai marinade — chopped peanuts processed with soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, sugar, red pepper, and garlic into a smooth basting sauce. Thread bite-sized chicken on skewers, coat in the marinade, refrigerate for an hour, then grill on foil, basting several times. A quick, bold weeknight skewer.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. Peanuts, unsalted, chopped fine
¹⁄₄ Cups Soy sauce
3 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 Tbsp. Coriander
1 Tbsp. Sugar
³⁄₄ tsp. Red pepper
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 package Chicken breast, boned and cut in bite-sized pieces

Instructions

Chop peanuts in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and process until well blended.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Thread onto skewers.
Coat skewers with the peanut mixture. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Place a sheet of foil on a barbecue grill. Put chicken skewers on the foil and baste several times during cooking.
Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10–15 minutes. Do not overcook — chicken cooks quickly in bite-sized pieces.

Note

Place a sheet of foil on the barbecue grill before adding the skewers — this prevents the peanut sauce from dripping onto the coals and flaring up.
