Grilled Peanut Chicken Skewers

Per Julia's request, here is the recipe for the grilled peanut kabobs we made this summer at my in-laws.  This is a family favorite and always a crowd pleaser.  Enjoy! :)

·         1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

·         1/2 cup water

·         1/4 cup soy sauce

·         4 garlic cloves, minced

·         3 tablespoons lemon juice

·         2 tablespoons brown sugar

·         3/4 teaspoon ground ginger

·         1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

·         4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (18-24 oz)

·         1/2 green bell pepper, large chopped chunks

·         1/2 red bell pepper, large chopped chunks

·         1 white onion, large chopped chunks

In a saucepan, combine the first eight ingredients; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until smooth. Reserve half of sauce.

Slice chicken lengthwise into 3/4-in. cubes. Thread chicken, bell pepper and onion onto skewers (if using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes), alternating one piece of chicken with one or two vegetables (or any other combination).

Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 2 minutes; turn and brush with peanut butter sauce. Continue turning and basting for 4-6 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Serve with reserved sauce.
