Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 120 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 120 grams natural peanut butter
- 60 ml water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Slice 500 grams of chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
In a bowl, combine 120 ml of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 120 grams of natural peanut butter with 60 ml of water and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Stir until smooth and heated through. Set aside.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Serve the grilled chicken satay warm with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
