Chicken Satay

This is an unlikely place to find a really amazing recipe, but we got this from the Family Fun magazine!  It is my mom's big achievement because it is a recipe that she made that was a big hit!  I think it is the best meal that I've had since September.  My sister, who now will comment on all recipe posts says: "It is very yummy, but it is chewy."  

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless chicken breast

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

2 Tb light brown sugar

2 Tb fish sauce

1 Tb ground coriander seed

1 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. turmeric

Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour (this actually really helps the meat come of the stick easier.)

Directions:

1.  For easier slicing, place the meat in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes.

2.  Combine coconut milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, coriander, cumin, and turmeric in a large bowl and stir well to dissolve the sugar.

3.  Slice the meat into thin strips about 3/4 inch thick and 3 inches long.  Add the meat to the coconut milk marinade and refrigerate covered for at least 2 hours.

4.  Preheat the broiler or the grill.  Thread 1 or 2 pieces of meat onto each skewer.  Grill or broil the meat for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until it's cooked through.  Makes about 10 skewers.
