Delicious Chicken Satay Skewers Recipe for Grilling

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 1 pound chicken breast (cut into strips)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth variety)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 skewers wooden or metal (if wooden, soak in water for 30 mins)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, curry powder, and olive oil until smooth.

    Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Marinating overnight enhances flavor.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill is hot to achieve a nice sear.
  4. Assemble Skewers

    Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving some space between pieces for even cooking.

    Alternate with vegetables for added color.
  5. Grill Chicken

    Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
