CHICKEN-ON-A-STICK (WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE)

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts

MARINADE

• 1/4 cup lime juice (or lemon)
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

SAUCE

• 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) strips- you'll get about 4 or 5 strips from each breast.

2. 2

   Thread these strips zigzag fashion onto bamboo skewers, about 3 or 4 strips per skewer.

3. 3

   Don't squash the zigzags too tightly- leave them loosely threaded so the marinade can soak in.

4. 4

   Arrange the skewers in a glass baking dish.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients& pour over the chicken skewers in the baking dish; allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least one hour, but no longer than three or else the chicken will disintegrate.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce.

7. 7

   In a blender combine all the sauce ingredients and blend until completely smooth.

8. 8

   Pour into a small bowl.

9. 9

   Preheat the barbecue, then grill chicken skewers over medium heat, brushing lightly with the marinade, about 5 minutes per side.

10. 10

    The chicken should be cooked through but not dried out.
