Chicken Satay
Skewered chicken flavored with peanuts and spices, this Chicken Satay is exotic enough to thrill the grownups, but mild enough for kids. It’s perfect for a family cookout or a small outdoor party. Serve these with skewers of grilled Vidalia onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and red bell peppers. Delicious!

Hi, there-
I also find that cilantro tastes like soap. I always thought people were crazy for liking it, but it turns out it is genetics! According to Charles Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, some people may be predisposed to dislike cilantro due to their taste buds.
But to answer your question, you could leave out the cilantro altogether or add a universal herb such as parsley.
Enjoy!
