1) Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
Marinade:
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
20 wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
Vegetable oil, for grilling
Butter lettuce leaves
Fresh cilantro leaves
Peanut sauce, recipe follows
Combine the yogurt, ginger, garlic, and curry powder in a shallow mixing bowl, stir to combine. Place the chicken strips in the yogurt marinade and gently toss until well coated. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at up to 2 hours.
Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the piece, so that it stays in place during grilling. Place a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Grill the chicken satays for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until nicely seared and cooked through. Serve the satays on a platter lined with lettuce leaves and cilantro; accompanied by a small bowl of peanut sauce on the side.
Peanut Sauce:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons red chili paste, such as sambal
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish
Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender. Puree to combine. While the motor is running, drizzle in the hot water to thin out the sauce, you may not need all of it. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and garnish with the chopped peanuts. Serve with chicken satay.

I have an excellent recipe I found on the internet. I have actually made it and it was great.
INGREDIENTS:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
PEANUT SAUCE
1 1/2 tablespoons trans-fat free peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/4 packet sugar substitute
1 1/2 tablespoons water
sprinkle of cayenne pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
To make peanut sauce: Place the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Microwave for 30 seconds.
Pound chicken breasts between pieces of plastic wrap to a uniform thickness. Rub each breast with about 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce. Then season both sides of each breast with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Place in a skillet and grill a couple minutes per side. Remove and cut into strips or cubes and thread onto skewers. Dip into peanut sauce and enjoy.
It serves 2.

Living in Poland, I prefer the "old style"; you might like this:
Buy a whole chicken (e.g. a broiler), either fresh or deep-frozen (remove plastic wrapping, thaw, uncovered, in the fridge overnight, or in COLD water) - wash thoroughly under cold, running water - drain off the water, no need to pat dry. Season the cavity with salt, pepper (freshly ground green pepper is GREAT!), a little granulated garlic (or fresh, home-made garlic butter!GREAT!!!), and a fair amount of dried tarragon. If you want, you can add a little dried, ground ginger (not REALLY necessary ...). Stuff with peach halves (canned - don't drain the syrup!!!), cut into quarters or pieces. Close the cavity with toothpicks (or stainless steel needles), season the outside with salt, some granulated garlic (if you like), and pepper. Place in a deep casserole, covered (loosely with aluminum foil if you have no lid), put into the oven, preheated to 320 F / 180 C, roast COVERED for 30 minutes, then remove covering. Add about one cup of chicken broth, just pour the stuff unceremonously over the bird, continue baisting frequently (every other five minutes or so). Roast for about another 15 to 20 minutes, evenly pour some of the peach syrup (from the can) over the chicken, reduce heat to about 220 F / 120 C, roast uncovered for another 10 minutes. On the stove, heat up some oil (or lards) in a medium-sized pan until rather hot, not TOO hot, though - shouldn't smoke!!! Add a finely chopped small onion - or scallop, if you prefer -, cook on low to medium until tender, then add a generous tablespoon of plain peanut butter, stir vigorously! Reduce heat to low, let simmer while you remove the chicken from the oven. Place the chicken onto a platter, cut into servings, pour the drippings into the pan, stir until smooth and well-blended, let simmer while you mix about a teaspoon of corn (or potatoe) starches with a little less than one cup of full milk or rich cream. Add to the pan, bring to a boil, stir vigorously all the time. Once your peanut sauce comes to a boil, immediately turn off the heat - remove from the stove if yours is the electric type!. Stir in some fresh, rich cream. Together with plain, pan-fried, or mashed potatoes (cook skinned potatoes with salt, pour off the water - or steam 'em!; mash, add a pinch of sugar, salt to taste (if steamed), ground nutmeg, freshly ground pepper, and full milk or rich cream, if you prefer - or any mixture of milk and cream!) - or rice - and sweet corn, seasones with a pinch of salt, a little - never too much! - freshly ground pepper, and some tarragon; this should serve about 4 rather HUNGRY people.
I LOVE cooking, and even my wife likes this recipe ... though it's only ONE way of preparing chicken with peanut sauce! If you'd like to know more, please feel free to contact me at axelwurl@yahoo.com. Have a nice dinner & a nice day!
