Originally served in Java, satay is a delicious dish of seasoned, skewered meat. It is popular in Thailand and Malaysia and is even the national dish of Indonesia! Easy and healthy, this chicken satay with peanut sauce is sure to please friends and family and is an excellent international addition to your barbecue rotation!

 

Did you know?  Chicken satay can be served in a variety of sauces, but is often served in a combination of soy and peanut sauce -- so much so that peanut sauce is often called 'satay sauce'!

 

 

Ingredients:

  • Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • ¾ lb. chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1 ½ cup coconut milk, divided into 1 cup and ½ cup
  • 1 tbsp. garlic, chopped

Tools:

Directions:

1. Stir together ½ cup coconut milk, garlic, 1 tsp. curry powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper until the sugar has dissolved. Toss marinade with the chicken, cover and marinate for at least 2 hours.

2. Bring 1 cup coconut milk, 1 tbsp. curry powder, peanut butter, chicken stock and ¼ cup brown sugar to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
