Grilled Low Carb Chicken Satay

~Leslie~'s Note:

This is a delicious chicken recipe that pleases my whole family. At 1.5 grams carb per serving it goes well with a carb controlled diet, but those not on carb control love it too. I serve this with a crisp salad and white wine. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do! Adapted from quick and easy Low Carb by Amanda Cross. Prep time does not include marinating overnight. Added June 22 05: Please be sure to use a low sodium soy sauce to avoid saltiness.

GREAT combination of ingredients, TRUE! LOVE is low carb AND PEANUT BUTTER TOO!!! Recently had massive crave for this! DO NOT, repeat..do NOT give this recipe a miss! Here's a helpful hint by me, TRUE! Grilled it on George Forman grill and used oil spary EACH time too! Used chicken tenderloins cut in half, worked for me! This IS a TERRIFIC recipe! NOTE: Used tamari to cut down the salt

I bought the thin sliced chicken breasts and just cut them in half lengthwise. Then I threaded them onto a skewer and grilled that way. I am not a big chicken satay fan but the rest of the family loves it so I made it for them and they all said they would want me to make it again. I think I will try adding the hot sauce next time to give it some heat.

Love this satay, the only thing missing is a dipping sauce. Next time I'll keep some of the marinade aside and use it as a sauce. Made for ZWT.
