Snacks and Light Meals Recipes - Chicken Satay Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4-8

  • 500 g/1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh root ginger

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon garam masala

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Satay sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon groundnut oil

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon clear honey

  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream

Method:

  1. Cut the chicken breasts diagonally into very thin strips and place in a shallow dish.

  2. Combine the remaining ingredients for the marinade and pour over the chicken. Stir once, cover and leave to marinate overnight.

  3. To make the satay sauce, heat the ground nut oil in a small pan and then gently fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the remaining ingredients and heat gently until boiling.

  4. Drain the chicken and pat dry. Thread the chicken strips on to 8 pre-soaked bamboo skewers, zigzagging back and forwards as you go.

  5. Cook under a preheated grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through. Serve with the satay sauce, to dip.

Note: Soak the bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning under the grill.
