Welcome to this month’s Secret Recipe Club!! This is my third month with the group and I am loving every minute of it! It has been so much fun finding new blogs & recipes every month. If it weren’t for this group, I might have never stumbled across such great people and their food! Great people like Dena from Oh! You Cook! , my secret recipe club mission for this month! 🙂
Dena has so many great recipes that just so happen to be kosher! Now, I am not Jewish but my very best friend from school is & I practically lived at her house growing up so many of Dena’s recipes brought back great memories of meals with my second family. I had a hard time deciding which of her recipes I wanted to recreate but I finally landed on her Chicken Satay Bites and I’m glad I did!!
YIELD: 40 appetizers
- 1 package (5 6-inch rounds) pita bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro, stems removed
- juice from 2 small limes
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1-2 dashes hot sauce
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins, cooked & shredded
- additional cilantro for garnish (optional)
COOKING DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each pita into 8 wedges. Lightly brush rough sides of triangles with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place, oiled side up, on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Place triangle toasts on a serving platter and set aside.
- Using a food processor, pulse the peanut butter, chopped cilantro, lime juice, water, ginger, hot sauce, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil until combined but still thick.
- In a large bowl combine the chicken with the peanut sauce. Spoon mixture onto the pita toasts. Top with the additional cilantro leaves, if desired.
This looks so good but my husband has a nut allergy. Any substitution for the peanut butter?
The soy nut or sunflower butter alternatives might work in the recipe Carol, I’m just not sure how much they would alter the taste. If you try it with either of those, let me hear what you thought!!
Glad you are having fun with the SRC! Amazing how time flies, I’ve joined yesterday (it seems), but I’ve been a member for almost 1 year and a half!
