Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce

Serving Size : 6 as appetizers, 2 or 3 as main course

Chicken & Marinade:
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (i.e one package of three breasts)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup butter -- melted
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Sauce:
1 small onion -- sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
1 cup dry roasted salted peanuts
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons lime juice
boiling water, added to achieve desired viscosity!

• Combine butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, coriander, and 2 Tbsp lime juice. Marinate chicken in this while you make peanut sauce.
   
• To make sauce: sauté onion and garlic in oil til tender. Cool. Place in blender, add everything else, and blend carefully. Slowly and carefully add enough boiling water to form a thick paste. (Add more if you prefer a runny sauce.)
   
• Now, broil chicken til done, basting with marinade (about 5 minutes per side). Serve with peanut sauce.

Note: the original recipe called for 1/2 teaspoon salt in the sauce. This makes it way too salty! It may still be too salty, with the salted peanuts in the sauce.
