Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

1 1/2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts about 4 fillets, cut lengthwise into 12 strips
1/2 cup lite soy sauce optional tamari
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoons ginger freshly grated
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Peanut Sauce

1/2 cup peanut butter natural, creamy or crunchy
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce optional tamari

2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
1 garlic clove minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, vinegar, garlic, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes. Place chicken strips in the marinade, cover, refrigerate, and let sit overnight or at least 5 hours.

Peanut Sauce

Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Add additional water if a thinner consistency is desired. Pour sauce into a glass dish or jar, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Assemble, Cook, and Serve

Thread skewers with marinated chicken strips and refrigerate while heating the remaining marinade. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
Lightly oil grates of the grill, grill pan, or skillet with canola or coconut oil, and turn to medium-high heat. Once hot, add skewers and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, basting with the marinade as it cooks.
Serve Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce. Enjoy!
