Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

I made this the other night and it went over really well.

1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice (fresh is best)
2-3 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp finely chopped gingerroot
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp water
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 Tbsp peanut butter
4 green onions

1. Combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Reserve three Tbsp of the mixture, cover and refrigerate. Add water to remaining mixture and pour over chicken. Cover and let marinate at least half an hour and up to two hours.

2. For peanut sauce, combine coconut milk, reserved mixture, and peanut butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2-4 minutes or until sauce thickens. Keep warm.

3. Thread chicken on skewers along with slices of green onion. Brush remaining marinade over chicken skewers and grill until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Serve with rice and peanut butter sauce for dipping.
