Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Coconut milk (light)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 10 pieces Skewers
Instructions
Place the wooden skewers in a bowl of water and soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into small, even strips, about 1/2 inch thick, and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for a more intense flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, water, coconut milk, and honey over medium-low heat.
Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, distributing the chicken evenly across all skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Serve the chicken sate with the peanut sauce on the side, garnished with fresh chopped coriander.
