Coconut Chicken Satay With Peanut Sauce Recipes

COCONUT CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

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 WITH PEANUT SAUCE

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.
