Chicken Satay
If you are ready to indulge in the exotic flavors of Southeast Asia, then this easy chicken satay recipe is for you. Marinated in a tantalizing blend of garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, each chicken skewer is seared to perfection and served alongside a tangy peanut sauce.
Ingredients :
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast
- 10 wooden skewers
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ginger minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
Directions :
- Soak the wooden skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the wood from splintering into your food. It also prevents the skewers from burning while cooking.
- To create the marinade, add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and lime juice to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Cut the chicken into 2" thick strips and combine them with the marinade. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- To make the satay sauce, add peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Once the chicken has marinated, poke a skewer through each strip lengthwise and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Depending on the space you have, line the skillet with 3-4 skewers. Don't overcrowd the skillet to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the chicken skewers for 3-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Baste them with the leftover marinade as they cook.
- Top with fresh parsley, serve with your peanut satay sauce, and enjoy!
