My son-in-law, Chase, made this incredible satay chicken with peanut sauce and roasted broccoli for me a few weeks ago, and it was delicious! There are so many wonderful flavors exploding in your mouth, but they compliment each other perfectly! 
The obvious players in this dish are peanuts and broccoli, but the supporting flavors of garlic, lime, sugar, and soy really make satay chicken amazing!
Also, the peanut sauce is fantastic!
I can’t say enough positive things about satay chicken with peanut sauce and roasted broccoli, (and I’ve definitely over-used my exclamation points), so you’ll simply have to try it for yourself! Fortunately, the instructions are right here! Thanks, Chase!!!!
Note: Since many of the ingredients in this recipe are divided to be used at different times, I included a shopping list of total amounts of everything at the beginning of the recipe. Then I proceeded to break it down by amounts needed for individual parts (marinade, peanut sauce, etc.). I hope that helps, and I hope you love it!
