How about a little Satay Chicken with Peanut Sauce for dinner? My sister in law Kim loves Thai Food. Her mom lived in Thailand as a missionary before she was born, and she was raised on delicious Thai recipes. She’s cooked us several meals, and taken us to a few restaurants, and though I can’t say I’ve fully embraced all things Thai (not a slimy noodle fan) I do LOVE anything with peanut sauce or using coconut milk. I now associate those two ingredients with Thai food, and it’s what I look for when I’m eating out.

I thought I’d get a little adventurous in the kitchen with this last recipe, and look up a handful of recipes with those ingredients. I ended up creating my own little concoction, and I can say that I pretty much loved it–so did my kids–hooray!

This recipe is the final recipe for the H-E-B Meal Maker challenge with H-E-B and ConAgra FoodsIt was fun to be given one ingredient (this time, peanut butter), then asked to come up with a recipe with 7 ingredients today to make in under 30 minutes for busy families!

Satay Chicken with Peanut Sauce

For the chicken, it’s a simple marinade, then weave it onto the skewers (having first soaked the skewers in water for a bit so they won’t burn) then throw them on the grill to cook in under 10 minutes! The dipping sauce is made with peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar–what could be better?!? Here is the simple recipe with 7 ingredients (plus water).
