Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- salt and pepper , to taste
FOR THE PEANUT SAUCE
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce , or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2-3 tablespoons water (whisked in to desired consistency)
FOR SERVING

Instructions
- Cut the chicken tenders in half, crosswise. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and a bit of salt and pepper.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, then let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler with the oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source.
- Thread the chicken onto 14 (6-inch) skewers. Place the skewers on a baking sheet coated with nonstick spray. Broil until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until chicken registers 165F. (Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Make the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients until well blended (starting with 2 tablespoons of the water. If it's too thick, add in the third tablespoon.)
- Serve chicken a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, lime wedges, and the peanut sauce.
