Ingredients

  • 20 wooden skewers

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into strips

Marinade:

  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 6 tablespoons tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil

  • ¼ onion, finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 8 tablespoons peanut butter

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 cup water

  • ½ lemon, juiced

Directions

  1. Put wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let soak for 20 minutes.

  2. Place chicken strips into a bowl. Combine soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl; mix to combine. Pour over chicken strips and mix so chicken is well coated on all sides. Marinate for 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Mix well. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.

  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer.

  5. Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for a total of 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Serve the satay skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.
