Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings (about 24 skewers and 1 1/4 cups yogurt sauce)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 Persian cucumber
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup roughly chopped green olives, such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola (about 8 olives)
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 clove garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
3 cups plain yogurt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 lemons, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 large or 12 small), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Vegetable oil, for the pan

Steps:

  • For the olive, cucumber and herb yogurt sauce: Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a clean kitchen towel or fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Squeeze or push against the sides of the sieve to remove excess water; set aside. Put the yogurt, olives, feta, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, oregano, paprika, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender and process until evenly combined and smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the grated cucumber. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the sauce just gets better as it sits.
  • For the chicken skewers: Whisk together the yogurt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon zest, 4 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, stir to coat evenly, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Skewer the chicken pieces onto twenty-four 8- to 10-inch metal skewers (see Cook's Note), about 6 pieces per skewer.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
  • Working in batches, cook the chicken skewers, flipping halfway through when they release naturally from the pan, until charred all over and cooked through but still tender, 9 to 10 minutes total. Serve immediately with the yogurt sauce, or cool completely, then remove the chicken from the skewers. The chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes if frozen and 10 to 12 minutes if refrigerated.

Chicken Satay Skewers Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: creamy peanut butter, coconut milk, spring onions, garlic, ginger, fresh Serrano chilies, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, soy sauce, lime, boneless, skinless chicken thighs, peanuts, coconut milk, Bamboo or wooden skewer

Provided by Evelyn Liu

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup coconut milk
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
10 g ginger, peeled
2 fresh Serrano chilies, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 lime, juiced
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
⅓ cup peanuts, chopped
½ cup coconut milk
Bamboo or wooden skewer

Steps:

  • In a food processor, blend the peanut butter, coconut milk, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilies, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, soy sauce, and lime juice into a smooth paste; this should make about 2 cups. Reserve half of the marinade and pour the other half over the chicken thighs. Mix and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Skewer the marinated chicken onto bamboo skewers, then arrange the skewers so their ends rest on the edges of the baking tray, allowing the chicken to be suspended. Bake the chicken skewers for 15-20 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges and cooked through.
  • With no oil in the pan, toast the chopped peanuts on low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the peanuts turn golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Add in the reserved marinade and the coconut milk. Stir and cook until thick and very aromatic, 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken skewers with the sauce on the side.
  • Enjoy!

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons dried za'atar or oregano
1 clove crushed garlic
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix lemon juice, olive oil, za'atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Put chicken in a zip-locked bag and pour marinade over it. Marinate the chicken at least 2-3 hours or as long as overnight.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes if grilling outdoors (I usually double them up so they are easier to turn).
  • Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  • Thread chicken onto the skewers. You should have 4 kabobs total.
  • Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates and cook (indoor or outdoor grill works fine) until the chicken is cooked though, turning often about 12 to 15 minutes.

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.

3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Satay Skewers:

Choose the right chicken. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces so that it cooks evenly.

Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade that contains an acidic ingredient, such as lime juice or yogurt, to help break down the proteins in the chicken. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. You can check the chicken by cutting into a piece; the juices should run clear.

Serve the chicken satay skewers with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular options include peanut sauce, cucumber yogurt sauce, and sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken satay skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chicken satay skewers that will impress your friends and family.
