Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons  soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons  tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon  peanut oil
  • 2 cloves  garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 pinch  ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch  ground cumin
  • 6  skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
  • 1 tablespoon  vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup  minced onion
  • 1 clove  garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 cup  water
  • 1/2 cup  chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons  soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons  white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon  lemon juice
  • skewers

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, black pepper, and cumin. Place chicken into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but not overnight. This will make the meat too dark.
  • Preheat the grill for high heat.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until lightly browned. Mix in water, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook and stir until well blended. Remove from heat, mix in lemon juice, and set aside.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill skewers about 5 minutes per side, until chicken juices run clear. Serve with the peanut sauce.
