This adaptation of Indonesian Chicken Satay (found on the net) is very quick to cook - serve peanut sauce on the side! The prep time doesn't include marinating. Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts |
1/4 cup lime juice (or lemon) |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter |
1/3 cup water |
1 clove garlic |
2 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon) |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) strips- you'll get about 4 or 5 strips from each breast.
2. Thread these strips zigzag fashion onto bamboo skewers, about 3 or 4 strips per skewer.
3. Don't squash the zigzags too tightly- leave them loosely threaded so the marinade can soak in.
4. Arrange the skewers in a glass baking dish.
5. In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients& pour over the chicken skewers in the baking dish; allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least one hour, but no longer than three or else the chicken will disintegrate.
6. Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce.
7. In a blender combine all the sauce ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
8. Pour into a small bowl.
9. Preheat the barbecue, then grill chicken skewers over medium heat, brushing lightly with the marinade, about 5 minutes per side.
10. The chicken should be cooked through but not dried out.
