Categories     appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/3 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 cup coconut milk (shake the can well before using)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons store-bought Thai red curry paste
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce

Steps:

  • For the satay: Whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry powder and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • Cut each chicken breast on the diagonal into 6 strips. Flatten the strips to a 1/4-inch thickness with the back of a chef's knife or meat mallet. Put the strips in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • For the peanut sauce: Meanwhile, heat the peanut oil in a small saute pan over medium-low heat until hot. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 20 seconds. Then add the coconut milk, peanut butter and curry paste. Increase the heat to medium and whisk until the mixture comes together, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the lime juice, soy sauce and fish sauce. If the sauce separates before you are ready to serve, whisk it until it emulsifies and use immediately.
  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry. Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Grill, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred in places, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.

CHICKEN SATAY



Chicken satay image

This recipe is part of Food Editor Barney's 'cooking with kids' series. Here, Barney and his daughter Maisie make chicken skewers with peanut sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

small piece ginger
2 garlic cloves
zest and juice 1 lime
1 tsp clear honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mild curry powder
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
500g pack skinless chicken breast fillets
165ml can coconut milk
1 tsp vegetable oil
cooked rice and lime wedges, to serve
1 cucumber
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
sweet chilli sauce (optional)
bunch coriander leaves picked (optional)

Steps:

  • KIDS the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS the rest is for you. Make a yummy marinade. Peel the ginger and help them to finely grate it and tip it into a bowl. Repeat with the garlic and lime zest. Halve the lime and get your child to juice it, then mix it in a bowl with the honey, soy, curry powder and peanut butter. Get them to give it a good mix, adding a small splash of water if it's too stiff, then help them spoon two-thirds of the mix into a small pan. Set aside for Step 4.
  • Now for some chicken bashing! Put the chicken in the sandwich bag, one breast at a time, getting your child to flatten each one with a rolling pin or a meat mallet - this isn't essential, but they like doing it.
  • Mix the chicken with the marinade you made. Cut the chicken into strips, tip it into the remaining third of the peanut-butter mix, then get your child to stir well. Cover with cling film and chill until required. This can be done up to 3 hrs ahead.
  • Cook your tasty sauce. While the chicken is marinating, pour the coconut milk into the pan and get your child to stir together with the peanut butter mix. The sauce needs to be heated gently and stirred - suitable for confident seven- or eight-year olds, under strict adult supervision.
  • 'Sew' the chicken onto the skewers. The chicken needs to be threaded into 'S' shapes onto the skewers. Get your child to thread the skewers away from themselves, being careful of the sharp points. Younger ones might find this a little fiddly, so they could just push on small chunks.
  • Paint the tray with oil and cook the chicken. Heat the grill to high and get your child to brush a baking tray with oil. They can then line up the skewers on the tray. Grill the skewers for about 10 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
  • Make cucumber ribbons with a peeler. Using a swivel-blade peeler, get your child to peel the cucumber into a bowl, then carry on peeling the cucumber flesh into ribbons until they get to the seeds. Repeat with each side of the cucumber.
  • Mix a dressing for the cucumber. Get your child to mix the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves - explain what dissolves means. Add the sweet chilli, if using, then pour over the cucumber. Add coriander if your child likes it, or serve on the side for the grown-ups. To serve, put the skewers on a platter, the sauce and salad in bowls, and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side.

CHICKEN SATAY



Chicken Satay image

Make and share this Chicken Satay recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Chicken

Time 14m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fish sauce
16 bamboo skewers
oil or coconut milk
peanut sauce (recipe #63210)
fresh cilantro leaves
romaine lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • Cut thin (1/4-inch) slices that run the length of the chicken breast (each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch approximately) to get 16 slices.
  • If you find it difficult to cut thinly through fresh meat, leave it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden slightly and then slice.
  • Place the chicken strips in a plastic freezer bag.
  • Add all the marinating ingredients and gently toss until well mixed.
  • Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook the satays, stir chicken in its marinade and then thread each slice onto a skewer, working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the slice, so that it stays in place during grilling.
  • Baste the chicken with oil or coconut milk and grill on a barbecue or under the broiler.
  • Cook for not much more than 2 minutes each side, turning fairly often to prevent unnecessary burning, and baste one more time with oil or coconut milk.
  • The satays are done when they have turned golden brown and crispy along the edges.
  • Serve on lettuce leaves, decorated with fresh cilantro leaves, and accompanied by a small bowl of Peanut Sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Chicken breast or thigh can be used for satay, but thigh is generally more flavorful and tender. If you're using chicken breast, be sure to pound it thin so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives satay its signature flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article includes a marinade made with coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. You can also add other ingredients to your marinade, such as soy sauce, fish sauce, or chili paste.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least an hour or overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: Satay is typically cooked over medium-high heat so that the chicken cooks quickly and evenly. If you cook the chicken over too low heat, it will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the satay with a peanut sauce: Peanut sauce is the traditional dipping sauce for satay. You can make your own peanut sauce using the recipe in the article, or you can use a store-bought peanut sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your chicken satay is flavorful and tender.
