I got this recipe from Familyfun.com.
"This delicious chicken tastes better the longer it marinades. Consider letting it sit overnight for the best flavor.
Chicken and Marinade
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. OJ
1 T. honey
1 T. oil
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 t. sesame oil
1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes
Sate Sauce
3/4 c. chicken broth
1/4 cup. OJ
1 T. soy sauce
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 T. sugar
1/4 c. smooth peanut butter
1. For the chicken and the marinade: Whisk all the ingredients except the chicken together in a medium bowl.
2. Add the chicken cubes, turn to coat, and marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours (The sauce can be make ahead of time too and chilled for the same amount of time.)
3. Heat oven to 500 degrees. Thread the chicken on to skewers, if you're using them, or just put the pieces on a foil-lined pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, for the sate sauce: Whisk together everything except for the PB in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved.
5. Over low heat, whisk in the PB (it will be messy at first) until smooth. Whisking constantly, heat the sauce until it has thickened, about 10 minutes.
6. Serve the sauce as a dip for the chicken. Serves 4."
e-notes: We just made this last nite and our whole family loved it - it is really tasty! The boys loved the dipping part - especially dipping it into PB sauce. How fun is that? I made up my marinade and sauce at about 9am that same day. Of course, for the sate sauce I didn't add the PB until I started cooking it over low heat.
I place mine on foil-lined pan. It probably took 15-20 minutes to cook. I didn't discard the marinade and so the chicken was "wet" looking. I think I'd discard the marinade next time.
I didn't "constantly" whisk my sate sauce for 10 minutes. It turned out good. It wasn't especially thick, but I think it was just fine.
We actually found some "fondue skewers" and let the kids even use them - scary. It was really tasty, different, and fun.

we did this tonight and it was great! we didn't have creamy pb, so we used chunky and it was fine. the sauce was a bit nutty, that's all. we also had problems getting the sauce to thicken, so maybe next time bring to a boil and then simmmer? but like emily, it was good regardless. and fun to eat! thanks em.
i made this again last nite and again really liked it. ben and miles LOVED it.
i did chunky PB like my sis and it was great - ben prefers that. i also did add some cornstarch to thicken up the sauce - 1/2 t. or less? i whisked it in. i think it coats the chicken more when you dip and i liked that.
