Going Global: Chicken Satay

We love Asian and Indian influenced dishes, so when I stumbled on this recipe (and doctored it) it was instantly a new family favorite. The spicy peanut flavor is delicious, and everything is more fun to eat on a stick. Needless to say, the kiddo even loved it.

This makes a perfect appetizer, and if you would like to serve as a dinner, the adjustments are pretty easy. Reserve 1/2 cup or so of the marinade, and stir fry whatever veggies you like and add the sauce at the end. Serve veggies over rice, satay on veggies and dinner is served!
