Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch strips)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce (or additional 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 small, juicy limes)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
2 teaspoons fish sauce (or additional 2 teaspoons soy sauce)
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 small lime)
Chopped fresh cilantro (chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, and lime wedges, for serving)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients, except for the chicken: soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let cook, stirring often, until the sauce is smooth and has thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and set aside.
  • When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high. Then thread the chicken onto skewers.
  • Grill chicken until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro, then serve warm with peanut sauce and lime wedges.

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 WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield Ten to fifteen skewers (2 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (16 g) red curry paste, plus more if desired
2 cups (490 ml) coconut milk
2 tablespoons (30 g) chunky peanut butter, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fish sauce
2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar, plus more if desired
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut milk
1 tablespoon (15 g) curry powder
1 tablespoon (15 g) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (8 g) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more if desired
2 pounds (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
Ten to fifteen 6-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight
Vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Make the Peanut Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and thick, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over. Add the peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and come together, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute more; remove from the heat. An oily film will rise to top; skim it off, if you wish. Keep the sauce warm while you make the chicken satay. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Make the Chicken Satay: Place the coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain into 2-inch square tiles about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the marinade and massage to coat the chicken evenly. You can cover and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor and tenderness or cook it immediately.
  • Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, stopping 2 inches from the bottom of each skewer.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to high and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the grill grates or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, grill the chicken on one side until you get nice char marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Skewers With Peanut Sauce image

That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
1 tablespoon curry paste or curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh or canned coconut milk, approximately
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
  • Put peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add curry paste or powder, salt and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy but quite thick consistency. Cook over low heat, whisking, until smooth; do not boil. Cool a bit, then stir in nam pla and lime juice.
  • Marinate chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes to an hour. Skewer chicken chunks, then grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and accompanied by lime.

  • When grilling the chicken satay, cook it over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. This will give the satay a nice smoky flavor.
  • The peanut sauce is essential for this dish. Make sure to use a good quality peanut butter and add plenty of lime juice and cilantro to brighten the flavors.
  • Serve the chicken satay with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or Sriracha sauce.
