Description
These healthy chicken satay skewers are flavoursome and juicy – with a healthier peanut sauce on the side – using raw peanuts and natural honey rather than processed foods.
Makes 2-3 skewers per 1 portion (depending on how much chicken you put on each skewer)
Ingredients
SAUCE
- 1 tsp soy sauce light
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp (20 g) whole raw shelled peanuts
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tsp water
MARINADE
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
Instructions
1. Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and toss the chicken through it. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Meanwhile place some wooden skewers in a large glass or bowl of water to soak.
2. Place the peanuts in a blender with the honey and blend well.
3. Add the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and water into the blender and blend again until well combined. Set aside until ready to serve.
4. Thread the chicken onto the soaked skewers.
5. Cook the chicken under the grill (broiler) for around 5-8 minutes, turning frequently.
6. Serve with your preferred dish (see above for ideas). You can serve the peanut sauce in a separate ramekin as a dipping sauce or drizzle over the skewers.
Notes
- Light soy sauce works much better than other varieties for this recipe – particularly the peanut sauce. If you do only have dark soy sauce then the result will be stronger and much darker looking than in the recipe pictures.
