1st recipe on the blog

Most of you know Tim likes really good food. I also get bored making the same old thing. So, I am always looking for good recipes. I thought it might be fun if I posted some of them on here when I find a good one.

Here is one that I made for my meal exchange. I have heard good reviews, and Tim and the girls really liked it too. If you are allergic to peanuts, this one is definitely not for you (Streadbecks, sorry)


I modified this a bit, and just did Chicken breasts instead of skewers. I found that you can bake them at 350 for about 45 minutes and then broil them on both sides and it turns out really well.

Next time I will have to add pictures.

Sizzling Chicken Skewers

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
* 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
* 3/4 cup salsa
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1/4 cup lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 3 tablespoons minced garlic
* 1 bunch green onions, chopped
* 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
* 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cubed

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine crunchy peanut butter, cilantro, salsa, brown sugar, soy sauce, salt, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic and green onions; mix well. Add chicken to the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. While the chicken is marinating, soak bamboo skewers in water for one hour so they will not burn on the grill.
3. Preheat the barbeque to a high heat. Or preheat your oven to broil.
4. Thread chicken onto skewers like a snake, and in between each loop add a cube of bell pepper.
5. Grill skewers, turning once, over charcoal for 4 to 6 minutes; or broil, until just browned and cooked through.
