| 1 | Cut thin (1/4 inch) slices that run the length of the chicken breast (each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch approximately) to get 16 slices. | 2 | Place the chicken strips in a work bowl. Add all the marinating ingrediants (solids first, then the liguids) and gently toss until well mixed. Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. | 3 | When ready to cook the satays, stir chicken in its marinade and then thread each slice onto a skewer, working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the slice. | 4 | Baste the chicken with peanut oil and grill on a medium hot barbeque. Cook for not much more than 2 minutes each side, turning fairly often to prevent burning. Bast with oil one more time. The satays are done when they have turned golden brown and crispy along the edges. | 5 | Serve on lettuce leaves, decorated with fresh coriander leaves. Accompany with a small bowl of Peanut Sauce on the side. |

| 1 | Blend or process the peanuts until they are fine meal. Reserve. | 2 | Heat half of the coconut milk in a saucepan at high heat and add the red curry paste. Stir to dissolve and continue cooking at high heat for 10 - 12 minutes, until the oil from the coconut has risen to the surface. | 3 | Lower heat to medium high and add the processed peanuts. Stir and add the rest of the coconut milk. Bring to a bubbling boil. Lower heat to medium and add sugar, lemon juice, and fish sauce. Cook stirring occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened somewhat and the oil has returned to the surface. | 4 | Take off the fire and let rest for a half hour. Stir to blend oil that has risen to the surface. It should be the consistency of thick cream. If thicker than that add a couple of tablespoons of water or cocnut milk and blend. | 5 | The sauce can be served lukewarm, piping hot hot or reheated. |
