1 pack chicken tenders (5-6 tenders)
Dry roasted unsalted peanuts
2 limes
Pantry
All natural peanut butter (preferably smooth)
Red pepper flakes
Dark brown sugar
Low sodium soy sauce
Ground ginger
Sea salt
Directions
Submerge some wooden skewers (one per tender) in water and soak for 30 minutes. Wash chicken tenders and skewer each piece down the middle lengthwise. Season each side with ginger, red pepper flakes, and a very light dash of salt. Refrigerate while you make the peanut sauce.
For peanut sauce: combine 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and juice of both limes in food processor. If sauce is too thick, add in some hot water, up to a 1/2 cup.
Heat grill to medium; cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
While chicken is cooking, roughly chop about 1/4 cup of peanuts.
Serve chicken with peanut sauce on the side and garnish with chopped peanuts.
I served mine with steamed snow peas, sliced mango, and cilantro-coconut rice.
Bon Appetit! Kelly
