Chicken Sate with Peanut Butter Sauce

I love peanut butter so I thought I would give this recipe a try.  I don't usually love Asian recipes with peanut butter sauce, ginger, etc.  My husband loves these types of recipes so I made this one for him.  It was actually really good.  Thank you Stacie ... for this recipe!  I think it is a Smucker's recipe.... but I couldn't find it on their site.

Also, I was trying to make it a little healthier so I used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar and Bragg's Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce.  It was still very good!

                    Once again, not a great picture.  I drizzled the sauce on... we loved the sauce. 

Chicken Sate with Peanut Butter Sauce

Sate':

1lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 8 strips
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp. bottled ground fresh ginger ( I grated fresh and used 1 tsp)
1 tsp grated lime rind
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
8 skewers - wooden or metal

Sauce:

1 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp natural-style, creamy peanut butter (I used a little more)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Prepare grill.  If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for a few minutes.

Combine chicken and all of the sate' ingredients in medium bowl and let stand ten minutes.  Combine all of the sauce ingredients in another medium bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Thread chicken strips on to prepared skewers.  Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray.  Grill 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. 

Serve chicken with sauce.  Serve with your favorite rice dish and a green vegetable.
