Chicken Satay
These Indonesian-style kebabs are usually served as an appetizer, but they also make a hearty and fun lunch.
Ingredients
For Chicken
12 chicken breast tenders (about 1 1/2 lb)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp canola oil
For Sauce
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced

Scallions, to serve
Instructions
1. Soak twelve 6-inch wooden skewers in water 30 minutes.
2. While skewers soak, make chicken: Place chicken, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, pepper and oil in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and gently shake bag to coat chicken. Marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes.
3. Make sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter, honey, ginger and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
5. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread each chicken tender onto a skewer. Place chicken on grill coated with cooking spray. Cover and cook until done, 3 minutes a side. Serve with peanut sauce and garnish with scallions, if desired.
