Peanut Sesame Chicken Satay

Peanut Sesame Chicken Satay

This recipe yields a flavorful appetizer that everyone loves so it disappears quickly! The only real work is threading the chicken onto wooden skewers. The marinade can be made several days in advance, and the chicken can be marinated a day ahead of cooking. Notes: Be sure to use Toasted Sesame Oil which contains a kick of hot pepper. Also, soak wooden skewers in water for at least an hour before grilling to prevent them from getting fully burned through. 

Chicken, Fruit, & Crisp Greens Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette —Refreshing!

Chicken, Fruit, & Crisp Greens Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette —Refreshing!

I was asked to bring a chicken salad for a ladies lunch earlier this month and wanted to avoid anything too heavy, weeping with too much mayonnaise. A crisp greens salad with tender chicken and ripe fruit make for a lovely, light meal. I found this recipe from Mark Bittman to be easy, different, and refreshing.
