Chicken Skewers with Peanut Butter Sauce

This super tasty peanut butter sauce helps to jazz up ordinary protein-packed chicken tenders, especially if you enjoy an Asian flare.
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips

Sauce

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup broth
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Sriracha, optional

Instructions
 

  • Thread chicken through wooden skewers and season with a sprinkling of salt, pepper and other preferred seasonings. Coat a large skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium-high heat.
  • Add skewers and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through. Add more cooking spray, if necessary, to prevent skewers from sticking. Alternatively, you can easily grill your skewers.
  • To make the sauce, mix peanut butter, broth, water and soy sauce. Stir until smooth and completely combined. Add a few optional dashes of hot sauce, if desired, and mix.
  • You can either spoon a bit of sauce on the second side after flipping, while skewers are cooking, and serve extra sauce for dipping, or cook skewers plain and serve the sauce for dipping

Notes

• Soy sauce contains gluten, so if you’re following a gluten-free diet, use tamari instead. That being said, always carefully read the packaging.
• If you're dairy-free, check the ingredient list carefully for any hidden milk products.
