Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breasts
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1.5 cups Jasmine rice
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 Lime wedges
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, turmeric, and ground coriander. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
While the chicken marinates, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, orange zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and fragrant.
Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Serve the chicken satay over the orange-scented jasmine rice. Garnish with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
