CHICKEN SATES WITH DIPPING SAUCES

CHICKEN:

1 pkg. boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1/2 c. water
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. brown sugar, preferably dark
1 garlic clove, minced

PEANUT SAUCE:

1 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. shelled, skinned fresh roasted peanuts
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt

PLUM SAUCE:

1 jar prepared hoisin sauce
Light salt soy sauce

Mix water, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic in bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Marinate for 1-3 hours, turning frequently.
For peanut sauce: Mix first 6 ingredients in blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to saucepan. Simmer until thick enough to coat spoon, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

For plum sauce: Place prepared hoisin sauce in bowl. Add soy sauce until sauce is smooth, not runny, and is still able to coat spoon.

Prepare grill or preheat broiler. Grill or broil sates 4 inches from heat source until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set sates on plate. Pass sauces separately for dipping
