Chicken Bites with Peanut Sauce

I'm not entirely sure how to describe the flavor of these; you can eat them without the sauce for a totally different taste (which is what my brother chose to do), but they are intended to be dipped in the sauce to complete the taste profile.  And for this, you will need to like peanut butter--it dominates heavily...and tastily :)  This recipe comes from the "Easy Everyday Cooking" card collection and the only modification I made (which it suggests on the car, actually) is to cook them under the broiler instead of on the grill (though I have made them that way before as well).  Oh, and to use chicken tenderloins instead of cutting up chicken breasts--why make more work when it's not needed?

Ingredients:

1 T. canola oil
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. honey
1 T. bottled minced garlic
1 T. ground ginger
1 T. curry powder
2 T. chicken tenderloins

--sauce--
1 c. chicken broth
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. vinegar
1 tsp. sesame oil
5 T. peanut butter

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler on high.  Coat broiler pan with nonstick spray.

2. Mix together first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl.


3. Add chicken to the bowl and mix until coated.


4. Thread coated chicken onto skewers (I put 2 per skewer.  Be sure to have soaked wooden skewers at least 20 minutes prior to use.) and place on broiler pan.


5. Broil for 7 minutes, then turn skewers and broil 7 more minutes to even cook chicken.


6. Meanwhile, for the sauce, combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan.  Bring to a simmer.

7. Add peanut butter.  Stir and cook until peanut butter has combined well with sauce.


8. Serve skewers with some dipping sauce and enjoy!
