Quick Peanut Satay Chicken Skewers
Again I am on a mission to spice up your normal boring chicken breasts.
The other night, I looked in our refrigerator to find chicken breasts staring at me. Then I opened our pantry and looked right at the peanut butter.
with a simple marinade
Marinating chicken in coconut milk is similar to buttermilk. It keeps the chicken moist and tender, during the cooking process. You don’t taste the coconut milk after it’s cook but you will notice how tasty the chicken is. Plus with a good peanut sauce – what’s not to love.
I love a good peanut sauce – this one is super simple, no cooking – just stir everything together and its ready to go.
Here is the simple recipe!
