Ingredients

  • Chicken and Marinade:
  • 1 lb. Chicken Breast diced into 1 inch cubes
  • 8 oz. Coconut Milk
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Fish Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Chili Paste
  • 1/2 tsp. Dried Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. Curry Powder
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • Avocado Oil or high smoke point oil for searing
  • Peanut Dipping Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup All Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1 tsp. Chili Paste
  • 2 tsp. Rice Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce
  • 2-4 tbsp. Water as needed
  • Garnish- Cilantro Lime Wedges, Chile Flakes, Peanuts

Instructions

  • In a bowl, prep your chicken satay marinade by combining the coconut milk, coconut aminos, chili paste, fish sauce, lime juice, ginger, and curry powder and whisk or blend until fully mixed.
  • Add in the diced chicken so it is fully coated and submerged in the marinade and let it sit, covered in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the extra marinade.
  • Place the chicken onto your chosen skewers (I use a smaller skewer so the portions are more evenly divided and easier to eat off of) and set aside.
  • Before searing your chicken, prep the peanut dipping sauce. Combine the peanut butter, aminos or soy sauce, chili paste, rice vinegar, and water (as needed to thin it) into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour into a small dish for dipping and set aside.
  • Preheat a cast iron or heavy bottom pan to medium high heat and swirl the pan with a few tablespoons of the avocado oil (higher smoke point oils work the best).
  • Cook the chicken by searing a handful of the skewers at a time (roughly 1/2 to -1/3) in batches as to not over crowd the pan. Sear each side roughly 3-4 minutes and flip and repeat. Check that the internal temperature of your chicken is 165 F.
  • Repeat this process until all your skewers are fully cooked and seared nicely.
  • Set them out on a plate or platter and garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, or red chili flakes for color and enjoy!
