Ingredients

chunky peanut butter 1/2 cup

vegetable oil 1/2 cup

white wine vinegar 1/4 cup

soy sauce 1/4 cup

lemon juice 1/4 cup

brown sugar 1 tablespoon

chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes 2 teaspoons

ground ginger 2 teaspoons

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch-wide strips) 2 pounds

green onions (trimmed and halved) 12

Instructions

Make the marinade

Blend the first nine ingredients in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth; if the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of water.

Marinate

Pour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Cut the chicken into 1-inch-wide strips and add it to the bag. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the skewers

Drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Cut off the top 3 inches of the green portion of each green onion; halve the remaining onions. Thread one onion onto each metal or soaked wooden skewer. At the end of each skewer, thread two or three chicken strips, followed by another piece of onion.
