Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 3/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 Tbs. peanut oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp. curry powder
- 1/8 tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
- Peanut Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 C. unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 C. smooth peanut butter
- 1 Tbs. soy sauce
- 2 tsp. dark brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
- 1 tsp. Asian sesame oil
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 2 dashes of cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
Directions
Cut chicken crosswise on an angle into thin slices. Thread 3 slices onto long bamboo skewers. Brush lightly with oil to coat. In a small bowl, mix salt, coriander, curry powder, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle seasonings over chicken skewers. Light a hot fire in an outdoor grill or preheat an indoor grill or broiler. Grill or broil satay, turning until lightly browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes total. Serve hot with Peanut Dipping Sauce on the side. For sauce: In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in garlic, sesame oil, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Serve warm. If sauce thickens while standing, thin with a Tbs. or hot water.
