Total time:
1 hour
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 boned skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (optional)
- Satay Sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 225g smooth peanut butter
- 225ml coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 2-3cm fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
- marinade
- 75ml soy sauce
- 55ml dry white wine
- 21/2 lemons, zested
- 12 fat cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
Method
- Before you start soak 18 x 25cm wooden skewers in water for 1 hour. Holding the knife at an angle to the breast, cut the chicken into slices about 1cm thick and place in a bowl. Mix all the marinade ingredients together, add to the chicken and toss lightly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes or longer. Drain the skewers and thread the chicken slices on so they lie flat.
- In a blender or a food processor, purée the satay sauce ingredients until smooth. Pour into a serving dish.
- Preheat the grill and brush the grill pan with the olive oil. (Alternatively, heat a heavy frying pan or griddle pan, add a teaspoon of oil and heat until near smoking.) Remove the chicken skewers from the marinade, shake off any excess and grill or fry for 4-6 minutes each side, depending on the thickness. Arrange the cooked chicken on a platter and sprinkle coriander on top, if using. To serve, spoon some of the satay sauce on each portion and eat.
