Instructions
 

Chicken Satay

  • Cut your chicken breast into two-inch wide strips.
  • Mix the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, red curry paste, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and salt into a bowl/bag. Place the chicken strips into the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or a few hours to overnight if you want to maximize the flavor).
  • Once meat is done marinating, skewer each strip onto a wooden or metal skewer. **
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees if baking or preheat your grill/grill pan to medium high if grilling.
  • If baking, place the chicken skewers on a greased and lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If grilling, slightly grease the grill with oil and grill the chicken strips on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once finished, place skewers on top of the grain bowl and drizzle with peanut sauce and crushed peanuts.

Peanut Sauce

  • Place all of the ingredients, except for the crushed peanuts, into a food processor.
  • Blend until the sauce mixture is smooth. Adjust mixture according to your preferences- if you'd like it to be thinner, add more coconut milk or water.
  • Place sauce into a bowl and garnish with crushed peanuts.

Chicken Satay Grain Bowl

  • Cook the cup of brown rice according to the package instructions.
  • Prepare all of the vegetables by peeling and slicing the cucumbers, carrots, and red cabbage.
  • Evenly distribute the brown rice and vegetables into four bowls. Top with chicken satay skewers and herbs. Drizzle the bowls with the peanut sauce and garnish with the crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

** If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them for 20 minutes in water prior to using to prevent them from burning
