Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 120 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 100 grams peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons peanuts, crushed
- 10 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground turmeric, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Whisk until well combined.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for optimal flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Stir consistently until smooth and heated through.
Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and thread the strips onto the soaked skewers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Transfer the grilled chicken satay to a serving platter and garnish with crushed peanuts.
Serve the chicken satay hot with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
