CHICKEN KEBABS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

"Kids won't be able to resist this finger food served on craft sticks--and to add to the appeal, there's a delicious dipping sauce."

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 lbs chicken tenders
Craft sticks (Note: Soak sticks in water for 30 minutes before grilling.)
for the Peanut sauce:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream

In a large mixing bowl combine olive oil, soy sauce, and honey and mix well.

Pound chicken tenders with a meat tenderizer on each side, flattening slightly.

Cut chicken into small cubes, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches (each tender yields about 3 pieces). Place chicken cubes in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Push each piece of chicken onto the end of a craft stick.

Grill pieces for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until meat is cooked through.

Place sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Serve along with chicken for dipping.

HOW KIDS CAN HELP:
Measure ingredients; stir marinade.

Yield: 30 to 40 kebabs
