MMMMM------------------------PEANUT SAUCE-----------------------------
    2/3 c  Crunchy peanut butter
  1 1/2 c  Coconut milk, unsweetened
    1/4 c  Freshly squeezed lemon juice
      2 tb Soy sauce
      2 tb Molasses (or brown sugar)
      1 ts Fresh ginger root, grated
      4    Garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 c  Chicken broth
    1/4 c  Heavy cream

           Grated lime zest
           Fresh cilantro sprigs
 
  To make the marinade, combine the first 7 ingredients in a shallow
  dish. Thread the chicken strips onto bamboo skewers in a serpentine
  fashion. Place the skewers into the soy sauce mixture and let
  marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, although overnight is
  preferable. Make the peanut sauce by combining the next 7 ingredients
  (peanut butter through garlic) in a saucepan. Season to taste with
  cayenne pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until
  the sauce is as thick as heavy cream (about 15 minutes). Transfer to
  a food processor or blender and pur=82e briefly. Add chicken broth
  and cream and blend until smooth. This mixture can be made several
  hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature
  before serving. Prepare moderate-hot charcoal coals or preheat a
  broiler. Cook the skewered chicken, turning several times and basting
  with the marinade, until crispy on the outside but still moist on the
  inside, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle grilled chicken with lime zest and
  garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
