keepitveal: Grilled chicken with a peanut butter sauce

This is a quick and easy meal! It's something different, and very tasty! The curry paste was a little tricky to find, but in our grocery store it was in the same aisle as the coconut milk and fish sauce which should be in in the ethnic aisle. Don't let the fish sauce in this recipe scare you away! I know it smells and sounds gross but it wont give this meal a fishy taste or smell. The peanut butter and ginger actually taste really good together. So try this out and enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
-1/2 up lite coconut milk
-2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-1 shallot sliced thin
-1 clove of garlic, minced
-1 1/2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce (or if you want you could just put in 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce)
-1 tablespoons of brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon lime zest
-1 teaspoon minced ginger
-1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast pounded slightly and cut into 1 inch stripes

Peanut butter dipping sauce ingredients
-1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
-1/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
-3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
-1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger
-2 tablespoons lime juice
-1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
-1 teaspoon red curry paste
-1 shallot peeled and roughly chopped

Start with the marinade for the chicken. It is easier to just put all of the ingredients in a small blender, but you could also whisk them together. Blend together the chicken stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, shallot, garlic, fish sauce, lime zest, and ginger. Put the marinade and the chicken in a large zip lock bag in the fridge for an hour.

While the chicken is marinading, you can make the peanut butter dipping sauce. For the sauce you really do need to use a blender because the sauce needs to be smooth. Blend together the peanut butter, chicken stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, lime juice, chili flakes, red curry paste, and the shallot. Cover the sauce and keep in the fridge until the chicken is ready to be served.

Unfortunately it had been raining all day and we couldn't get the grill to turn so we had to cook the chicken on the stove but we highly recommend using a grill if you can! For the grill you will want to put the chicken on skewers. We only have pictures of it being cooked on the stove. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side, but it really depends on how thick your chicken is so make sure you check to make sure its cooked all the way through!
