RECIPE: Rec: Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

[miainmd]

Chicken Satay

I have no idea how "authentic" this recipe is. It was given to me by a friend and we like it. I'd love to see other chicken satay recipes for variation.

Slice chicken breasts thin and soak in marinade overnight.

Marinade for the chicken:

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 T ground coriander

1 T ground cumin

1 T ground tumeric

1 tsp pepper

1 T brown sugar

1 tsp salt

½ cup coconut milk

Soak bamboo skewers for 1 hour and then weave marinated chicken through.

Cook for 7 minutes at 450 degrees – until chicken registers 160 on meat thermometer

Peanut Sauce:

Mix the following in a blender or food processor and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes to reduce.

3 cloves garlic

2 T vegetable oil

½ cup water

2 T lime juice

1 tsp salt

2 T brown sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 can unsweetened coconut milk

mmmmm sounds yummy. one variation is a mexican thai thing

well, that may sound wierd, but we soak the chicken in an espresso based marinade,almost all the same but no coconut milk. And add lime rind. Then in the peanut sauce we add unsweetened cocoa and ginger. (keeping the coconut milk in that). You can also add a little chipotle, but that is your own degree of fire.
reading your post makes me want to cook 'em.
