Ready for a quick, easy snack or appetizer that you can make in bulk and refrigerate for quick future noshes? Here it is, one of the recipes from The Dirty, Lazy, Keto No Time to Cook Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes to Save Money & Time by Stephanie Laska (Adams Media, 2021). Don’t be deterred by the ingredients list. It’s mostly spices you probably already have and some are repeated within the chicken marinade and the peanut sauce. Also, you can use a grill pan if you don’t have a grill or don’t want to cook outside. We say it’s a tasty, easy keto recipe. Here’s what author Stephanie Laska has to say about it: “My kids will eat just about anything when it’s served in an unusual way, like how I prepare Two-Step Satay with Peanut Sauce. I like to mix it up, and skewers are an easy way to go. This tip might seem trivial, but I’ve found that variety (or lack thereof) affects my motivation to cook.”[Reprinted with permission from The Dirty, Lazy, Keto No Time to Cook Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes to Save Money & Time by Stephanie Laska, MEd, and William Laska (Adams Media, 2021).]Click HERE to read our book review.

What happens with the marinade? Can it be used for anything else? Instead of throwing in the garbage? Like maybe it could be the base for a soup if you added more broth?
How about making paper wrapped chicken with the leftover marinade?
