Grilled Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
Total time: 35 minutes
Fresh ginger adds a bit of heat and a lot of flavor to this chicken. You can substitute 1/2 tsp ground ginger if you don't have fresh; and add more if you like the heat. For a hotter dish you could add crushed red pepper, Asian chili sauce or even Tabasco to the marinade and/or the peanut sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, 300gr, 10.5oz
- 2 tbs lemon juice, 30gr, 1oz
- 2 tbs soy sauce, 32gr, 1.2oz
- 1 tbs brown sugar, 9gr, .32oz
- 2 cloves garlic, 6gr, .2oz
- 1 tbs fresh ginger, peeled and minced about 5 slices the size of an American quarter or 1 euro coin, 11gr, .39oz
- 1 tsp chili powder, 2.5gr, .09oz
- 2 - 4 skewers
Instructions:
- Soak skewers in warm water while preparing chicken and making marinade.
- Cut chicken breast into long strips, 3 or 4 from each breast. Thread the meat the long way onto the skewers, (sort of pleating it).
- Mix the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken skewers into a baking dish and pour marinade over. Allow to marinade for 20 - 40 minutes.
- When ready, remove from marinade and grill over direct heat for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Can also be done under the broiler (grill) for same amount of time. Or, you could skip the skewers and stir-fry them in 1 tbs olive oil and 1 tsp sesame oil.
- Serve with Peanut Sauce on the side.
