Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce - Easy Recipe | The Stay At Home Chef

Chicken satay is a flavor explosion in your mouth. The chicken is marinated in coconut milk and aromatic spices, resulting in tender and flavorful skewers. Paired with the best peanut dipping sauce you'll ever taste, this recipe is perfect for a light meal or a party appetizer. To start, trim and cube the chicken breast into 2-inch pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine high-fat coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, red curry paste, fish sauce, yellow curry powder, garlic powder, and minced ginger. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour. While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by mixing creamy coconut milk, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, red curry paste, and lime juice. Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken onto pre-soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece. Grill the skewers on a medium-high heat grill pan, turning them after 4-5 minutes on each side. Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat. Drizzle the skewers with peanut dipping sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro. Enjoy this delicious chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce as a main dish or appetizer.
