Instructions

Place chicken tenderloins in a large mixing bowl or slice chicken breasts into 1/2" thick strips.
In a food processor or blender combine oil, lemongrass, garlic, red chili pepper, curry powder, honey and fish sauce; blend until smooth.
Pour over chicken and marinate for two hours.
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Place on a grill over medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
To broil place on a baking sheet with a baking rack. Adjust the oven rack to the upper middle. Place prepared chicken skewers in a preheated oven at 375°F.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip skewers over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature. Broil for 1-2 minutes on each side if desired.
In a small bowl whisk together ingredients for peanut sauce; vegetable broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, red peppers and set aside.
Skewer chicken and brush with oil. Season with allspice, salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through (about 4 minutes each side). Serve with peanut sauce.

Notes

Original recipe was a simple seasoning of the following; 2 Tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, avocado), salt and pepper to taste, 1 1/2 teaspoons allspice. This has since been updated to include a more robust Thai style marinade which is in the above recipe card.
