Chicken Peanut Satay on Lolly Sticks
When I was growing up I loved meat on a stick! I can’t believe I haven’t gotten on the bandwagon with my kids yet. With grilling season here I thought this would be a fun and easy recipe to have in my back pocket for the months ahead. My girls loved this recipe and especially loved the peanut dipping sauce. This is a great recipe to serve alongside steamed or grilled veggies and your favorite grain.
At one point I caught my youngest daughter using a spoon to “sip” her sauce! This sauce would be great on salmon, steak or tofu. I even used it as a “dressing” for a kale slaw for our CSA members last week. Check that recipe out here!
I hope you and your family love this easy meal as much as we do. Happy grilling everyone!
