Appetizer - Curried Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
When my friends at Greensbury Market sent me some delicious organic boneless skinless chicken breasts I knew I had to make something special with them. I love anything with curry so to me this recipe is perfection. The peanut sauce is sweet, a little spicy, and out of control good. In a ziplock bag add the chicken strips, yogurt, garlic, ginger, curry, salt, and pepper. Squish it all around so all the strips are coated evenly. Let it marinate for 30 minutes or longer if you can. You can do this and leave them overnight if you want! The flavor only gets better the longer you marinate.
