The refrigerator light goes on...
I love this spin on chicken satay with the ginger. It gives it a fresh, light flavor. The peanut sauce with the addition of cilantro is rich but soft and light enough for those with acid reflux.

Place the chicken strips onto skewers.
Combine the minced ginger, sesame oil and chicken together in a large zipper bag. Marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
While the chicken is marinating place the peanut butter, chicken stock, soy sauce, salt, and cilantro in a blender. Puree until smooth. Chill.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for another 7 to 12 minutes. Serve with peanut sauce.
