Categories     Main Course     Sauce

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup light coconut milk (save the extra for the peanut sauce!)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 lime (juice only)
2 tbs. liquid or coconut aminos (can use soy sauce)
2 tsp. turmeric powder
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed of fat)
⅓ cup unsweetened peanut butter
2 tbs. red curry paste (I use Thai Kitchen)
¼ cup light coconut milk
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. sriracha (add more for more heat!)
2 tsp. liquid or coconut aminos (can use soy sauce)
lime wedges, sliced anaheim peppers, sliced bell peppers, cauliflower or regular rice

Steps:

  • Place kebab skewers (soak 10) onto a cooking sheet and cover with water. Place a pot lid or something weighted onto skewers so they stay covered and let soak until ready to skew.
  • Combine the first five ingredients in a large bowl or tupperware. Slice chicken breasts into 1" pieces (slice lengthwise, then dice), season lightly with salt and pepper and place into bowl, covering all pieces.Place bowl into refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, preferably 20-30.
  • Combine all ingredients for the peanut sauce and taste for seasoning.
  • Heat outdoor grill to 400 degrees or start to warm a grill pan over medium heat.
  • After chicken has marinated, skew 6-7 chicken pieces onto skewers leaving room on one end. Thread the chicken pieces twice through the skewer so they're less likely to fall from stick.
  • On outdoor grill, cook kebabs for about 5 minutes per side. On indoor grill pan, spray with cooking spray (not needed if you have a nonstick pan) and cook for the same time or until chicken is no longer pink.
  • Serve on their own or over rice! Top with peanut sauce and place more on the table for dipping. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before sliding off of kebabs!

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.

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours for even more flavor.
  • Grill the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill and will give it a nice char.
  • Serve the chicken with the peanut sauce: The peanut sauce is a delicious complement to the grilled chicken. You can also serve the chicken with rice or noodles.
  • Garnish the chicken with cilantro and lime wedges: This will add a fresh, bright flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This grilled coconut lime chicken with peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the peanut sauce is creamy and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
