I adore chicken satay. I will order it whenever I have the opportunity and have made different versions of it throughout the last two years (one even being posted just almost exactly two years ago!!). So, when I saw this recipe, it was just a given that I had to try it. The only downside I can think of was the peanut dressing was a bit thicker than I would have liked it....but that didn't stop me from eating it, trust me. It was SOOOO incredibly good. I would eat this every single night... it's just that good!

Meanwhile, take the remaining 5 Tablespoons of peanut sauce and mix with lime juice and olive oil; set aside.
To build the salad - place lettuce in bowl or plate. Top with cucumber, tomatoes, peppers and cilantro. Top with sliced chicken and finish with peanuts. Drizzle dressing over the salad and serve. Enjoy!
Two Years Ago: Grilled Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce
You have me with the peanut sauce. I don't know why I don't eat peanut butter or peanuts more often - for crying out loud I love them both. Okay, I can already tell I can't decipher the anti-robot stuff below. If you're reading this I succeeded.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful as does the Sichuan chicken below. No one does chicken better that you do, Jenn. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
