Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

I love international foods – like seriously love them, often more than classic American dishes! I mean does it get better than a good Italian pasta? or a Greek gyro? and then Asian foods… YUM! I also love dishes that have a lot of flavors in them – and so Thai is always a huge hit with me! And ANYTHING that goes with this peanut sauce is going to be good in my book

The chicken is easy enough – toss everything in the blender and blend – marinade for 4 hours or overnight – cook… easy peasy, right? you can bae it or grill it – however you like to cook chicken.  great flavor and easy.

Really for me it’s all about the peanut sauce – which is JUST as easy to make – it has the most amazing flavor – I’d eat it straight.  In fact the chicken is pretty much an edible utensil to get the peanut sauce in my mouth.  Yes it’s that good – I really need to make more dishes that use this peanut sauce as a side.

And there you have it – other than the marinating time this dish takes almost no time at all! It’s a great easy prep meal that I always have all the ingredients for!  Don’t forget to soak your skewers if your going to grill the chicken so they don’t burn.  Honestly it’s even easier to toss it in the oven – but you miss out on those great grill lines!
