Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins pounded to uniform thickness
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos or sub low sodium soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
  • 2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha or more if you like spice, less if you don’t
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or sub low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons water if necessary
  • Sprinkle salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl or ziplock bag, make the satay marinade by mixing everything under the chicken ingredients except for the chicken. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and place in the refrigerator for two hours or overnight (my fav!). If you plan to grill with wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • While the chicken is marinating, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, coconut aminos, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low, stirring frequently. Cook for several minutes or until the sauce is smooth and has thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in curry powder, chili paste, and lime juice. Sprinkle with salt and just seasonings to taste. If you want a thinner sauce, just add a little water. Set sauce aside or store in the refrigerator until the chicken is ready.
  • After the chicken is fully marinated, preheat grill and thread chicken onto skewers. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges and the peanut sauce.
