Easy Chicken Satay Skewers with Homemade Sauce
These Easy Chicken Satay Skewers with Homemade Sauce are the perfect meal prep for a busy week. They are packed with flavor and super simple to throw together. The chicken is so juicy and tender, thanks to the delicious coconut milk-based marinade. I love dipping these skewers in a rich homemade satay sauce. The sauce is made with sunflower butter instead of peanut to make it allergy-friendly! This dish is also gluten-free and dairy-free!
