Description
A delicious recipe for Chicken Satay served with a flavorful Thai Peanut Sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine the vegetable oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly.
- Thread the chicken onto the soaked skewers.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the Thai peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a medium bowl.
- If the sauce is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve the grilled chicken satay with the peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
- You can serve the satay with cucumber slices or a side of jasmine rice for a complete meal.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with firm tofu, cut into strips and prepared in the same way.
