Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Canola oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened peanut butter
- 100 milliliters Coconut milk (light)
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, honey, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and canola oil.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the chicken marinates to prevent burning during grilling.
Pre-heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
Grill the skewered chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and slightly charred.
In the meantime, prepare the peanut sauce by heating a small saucepan over low heat. Add the unsweetened peanut butter, light coconut milk, and brown sugar. Stir frequently until smooth and heated through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Indonesian Chicken Sate hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, and accompanied by a small bowl of peanut sauce for dipping.
