Chicken Satay

I love Chicken Satay! Today I tried making it following my own recipe. Recipe testing is an important step in the cook book making process. Although it is better if someone else tests the recipe. But I think I just followed the instructions, this time. It's very yummy.

Ingredients
2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp paprika
3 cloves of fresh garlic, sliced
1 onion diced
4 silver dollar sized slices of ginger
1 Tbsp ginger flavored sherry
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp tamari (Soy Sauce)
2 Tbsp fish sauce

1 cup uncooked rice (cooked)
vegetable oil
3/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1 (15 oz) can coconut milk
salt

Instructions
Slice the chicken into bite sized pieces and put them in a ziplock bag. Add everything except the rice, oil, peanut butter, coconut milk, and salt. Marinate the chicken overnight, or for at least 2 hours.

Cook the rice.
You can put the chicken on skewers and broil it or sauté the chicken in small batches in a little bit of vegetable oil.
When all the chicken is cooked throw out the ginger and cook the rest of the marinade, garlic, and onion. Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, and salt and simmer until it is a good consistency.
Mix the cooked chicken into the gravy and serve it over the rice.
