Thai Chicken Skewer with Easy Satay Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Satay Sauce Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each cube.
4. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a bit of char on the outsides.
5. While the chicken is grilling, make the satay sauce by whisking together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and serve with the satay sauce for dipping.

Verdict:

These Thai chicken skewers with satay sauce are a delicious and easy dinner option. The marinade gives the chicken a ton of flavor and the quick and simple satay sauce is the perfect accompaniment.

Serving suggestions:

These skewers would be great served with some steamed rice and a simple salad. They’d also be great for a summer BBQ or as an appetizer for a party.
