Ingredients

Chicken Satay

1/2 cup Asian peanut sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cucumber Salad

3 cups thinly sliced peeled seedless cucumbers
1/3 cup halved thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Toppings

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cocktail peanuts
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions (2 medium)
3/4 cup Asian peanut sauce

Directions

1

Soak 8 (10-inch) wooden skewers in water 30 minutes. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place 1/2 cup peanut sauce in medium bowl; set aside. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Thoroughly coat chicken slices with sauce in bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
2

In another medium bowl, stir together cucumber salad ingredients; set aside.
3

Remove chicken from bowl; discard peanut sauce. On each skewer, thread 4 to 5 chicken slices. Place skewers on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
4

To serve, divide cucumber salad among 4 serving plates. Top with chicken skewers and toppings.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Peanut sauces can be spicy. Check out the ingredients on the label before buying to get an idea of how hot the sauce is.
tip 2
When placing chicken on skewers, keep the skewers centered in the chicken slices as much as possible so the slices have less exposure to the grill surface to avoid burning.
