Yogurt marinade and peanut sauce? I’m in! Of course, I’m dieting (yay…) so I tried to keep the calories down. All the same, it came out pretty damn good! Well, I think so anyway, but what do I know?
Marinaded chicken grilled and then coated in a warm peanut sauce. Absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
-
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
-
- Marinade
-
1 cup Greek yogurt
-
4 cloves garlic
-
1 small stalk lemongrass
-
1/2 lemon
-
1 tbsp grated ginger
-
2 tsp red pepper flakes
-
1 tsp curry powder
-
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
- Peanut Sauce
-
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1/4 cup lightly salted roasted peanuts
-
2 cloves garlic
-
1 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice
-
1 tsp curry powder
-
1 tsp sweet chili sauce
-
1/2 tsp oyster sauce
-
1/2 cup water
Directions
- Soak about 20 skewers in hot water while doing all the prep work so they don’t burn on the grill
- Slice the chicken into thin strips
- Finely mince the garlic and add to the yogurt
- With the side of a heavy chef’s knife, hit the lemongrass stalk a few times to help loosen the outer husk and break up the fibers
- Pull the outer husk of the lemon grass off and discard
- Finely chop the interior of the lemongrass and add to the yogurt
- Add the juice from the lemon, ginger, pepper flakes, curry powder, pepper, and salt to the yogurt
- Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and refrigerate for at least an hour and a half
- Finely chop two cloves of garlic and add to the peanut butter
- Chop the peanuts into small pieces and add to the peanut butter and garlic
- Add the Chinese Five Spice, curry powder, oyster sauce, and sweet chili sauce to the peanut butter and garlic
- Mix well and slowly add the water to thin the sauce
- Slide the chicken strips onto the skewers
- Grill on medium heat for five to ten minutes, until done but not dry
- Transfer chicken to a glass dish and coat with the peanut sauce
Tips
- Watch the chicken carefully while it’s on the grill. Due to the smaller size, it’s easy to let it get dried out.
