Ingredients
•
20 wooden skewers
•
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into strips
•
6 tablespoons soy sauce
•
6 tablespoons tomato sauce
•
2 tablespoons peanut oil
•
4 cloves garlic, minced
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1 tablespoon peanut oil
•
1/4 onion, finely chopped

Directions
1
Put wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let soak for 20 minutes.
2
Place chicken strips into a bowl. Combine soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl; mix to combine. Pour over chicken strips and mix so chicken is well coated on all sides. Marinate for 15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Mix well. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer.
5
Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for a total of 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Serve the satay skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.
