Thanks to a Savvima reader from Shelton, CT for sharing this recipe!

“I served mine up on some wild rice pilaf and tossed on some cilantro to garnish.  You could serve these at a party in a large glass and let people grab them off the table and mingle with them.  Who doesn’t love food on a stick??”

Ingredients:
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons ginger root, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 lb. boneless chicken breasts, sliced into strips to skewer
wooden skewers, soaked in water for an hour

Peanut sauce-
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
3 drops chili oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions:

1. Combine the marinade ingredients, add the chicken strips, mix well and refrigerate for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, put the chicken on bamboo skewers, place the chicken skewers on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 15 -20 minutes.  You could also toss these on an indoor (or outdoor) grill.
2. While your chicken is marinating combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
