Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fish sauce |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
2 stalks fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced (optional) |
2 tablespoons agave nectar |
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger |
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grilling |
1/4 small napa cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups) |
6 ounces snap peas, shredded |
1/4 cup cilantro leaves |
wooden skewers |
spicy peanut sauce for serving, recipe follows |
3 tablespoons reduced-fat smooth peanut butter |
1/4 cup light coconut milk |
2 teaspoons fish sauce |
1 to 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon agave nectar |
Directions:
1. 1. Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, agave, soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes and garlic (makes 3/4 cup). Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a shallow baking dish; reserve the remaining 1/4 cup. Thinly slice chicken crosswise, with your knife slightly on the diagonal. Add the chicken to the marinade in the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. 2. Strain reserved marinade into a large bowl; whisk with the vegetable oil. Add the shredded cabbage, snap peas and cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. 3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high; soak about 24 skewers in water for 20 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers. Lightly oil grill grates; sear or grill chicken in batches until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss slaw; serve with chicken and Spicy Peanut Sauce, if desired.
