Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

This easy recipe would work on the grill or under the broiler.

Ingredients
1½ Tbsp Thai Fish Sauce (for marinade)
1 Tbsp Thai Fish Sauce (for sauce) 
1 Tbsp Ginger root, peeled and minced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Lime Juice (for peanut sauce)
2 tsp Lime Juice (for marinade)
1½ pound(s) Chicken breast, cut into thin 2-inch strips
6 Tbsp Coconut milk, light
3 Tbsp Peanut butter, reduced-fat
2 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped
4 tsp Honey
1 tsp Lime zest, freshly grated
⅛ tsp Red Pepper flakes, crushed

Instructions
Combine 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of the fish sauce, the ginger, garlic, and 2 teaspoons of the lime juice in a zip-close plastic bag; add the chicken. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, 1 hour. 

To prepare the peanut sauce, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, cilantro, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon each fish sauce and lime juice, the lime zest, and red pepper in a  medium bowl; whisk until smooth. 

Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill for a hot fire; spray the broiler pan or grill rack with nonstick spray. Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers, then broil or grill the skewers 4 inches from the heat, turning once, until they are cooked through, 3–4 minutes per side. Serve at once with the peanut sauce. 

Yields 4 servings with about 2 tablespoons peanut sauce per serving.
