Ingredients
A note about gluten: When gluten-free tamari is used, this recipe is gluten free.
1 cup
plain yogurt
1
shallot, finely minced
1 tbsp.
very finely minced or grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp.
mild curry powder
1 tsp.
finely minced fresh garlic (about 1-2 cloves)
2 lbs.
boneless skinless chicken tenders or chicken breasts (about 5 breasts), cut into ¼" x ½" strips
1 cup
creamy peanut butter
¼ cup
low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
- freshly squeezed juice of 2 limes (about ¼ cup)
2 tbsp.
dark brown sugar
2 tsp.
red chili paste
½ cup
hot water (or to taste)
20
(6-10") wooden skewers, soaked in water for 1 hr.
- cooking spray, for spraying skewers
- chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, shallot, ginger, curry powder and garlic.
- Add chicken to the bowl; toss to evenly coat. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 20 min. (up to 2 hrs.).
- While chicken marinates, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar and chili paste in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. With motor running, drizzle hot water into peanut sauce until desired consistency is reached; set aside until ready to serve.
- Thread chicken onto skewers using an accordion fold: Holding one end of each strip, weave skewer in and out of chicken every 1-2", gently folding chicken back and forth so it bunches up evenly along the skewer.
- Preheat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat (or preheat a grill to medium-high heat; clean grill grates).
- Spray skewers lightly on both sides with cooking spray; cook chicken in grill pan (or on grill, lid down) until chicken is cooked through (about 3-5 min.), turning once.
- Drizzle satays with peanut sauce; garnish to taste.
- Serve with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Tasty Tips:
- Serve satays in butter lettuce leaves or on warm naan for a fun, build-your-own meal.
- Save time by substituting Kowalski’s Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice for the 2 limes called for in this recipe. Find it in the Produce Juice Case.
