Chicken Satay
Type: Appetizers and Snacks
Satay sauce gives this chicken dish an Asian-inspired flair.
Prep Time: 15M
Cooking Time: 10M
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 10oz (300g) skinless boneless chicken breast or thigh fillet, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Asian fish sauce, such as nam pla
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp hot red chili paste
- juice of 1 lemon
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the satay sauce
- 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- juice of 1 lime
- half of a well-shaken 14oz (400g) can unsweetened coconut milk (about 7oz/200g)
- 1/2 tsp medium-hot chili powder
- splash of Asian fish sauce, such as nam pla
Directions:
- Soak 8 small wooden or bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
- Combine the chicken, oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, chili paste, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Set aside to marinate while you make the satay sauce.
- Combine the peanut butter, lime juice, coconut milk and chili powder in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken and the coconut milk releases its fragrance. Add a little more water if it is too thick. Remove from the heat, and keep warm until needed.
- Preheat the broiler to high. Thread the chicken strips onto the soaked skewers. Broil for 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges. Serve hot with a little crispy lettuce and a bowl of the satay sauce for dipping.
- Cheat...Instead of making your own, use a ready-made bottled satay sauce as a dip.
- When you are using wooden or bamboo skewers, always remember to soak them for 30 minutes in cold water first, so that they do not burn when cooking.
