When I was out in California last month my Mom and I went through some old recipes that she made when I was growing up.  I remember her making chicken satay from a Cooking Light magazine and it was so good.  We sort of made it while I was out there and I remembered how good it was.  Yesterday I decided to make some more but realized I didn’t get the recipe before I left.  So….. I went into the kitchen and played with some peanut butter and soy sauce and made this dish.

Now, I’m not an expert in Asian cooking so I’m sure that there will be people out there thinking “oh no, that’s not the right way to do this or that.”  This is just me playing until it tastes like what I’m craving, and I think it turned out pretty tasty.  I didn’t make mine spicy just because I wanted to make it for the family but if you’d like more heat you could just add some red pepper flakes or maybe even Sriracha sauce.  These were so good and we even ended up eating them for dinner and mixing them with some Red Cabbage Slaw and rice noodles.  This dish is going to be making it into the regular rotation now!

This Chicken Satay is so easy to make and delicious that your friends and family will be asking you to make it all the time!
