Chicken Satay Skewers with Cucumber Salad
Chicken satay is a crowd favourite, and this homemade version is full of flavour, and perfectly paired with a lightly spiced cucumber salad. Divine!
Ingredients
- 500 g skinless chicken breast diced
- 1 tbsp finely grated ginger
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 lemongrass stem bruised
- 2 Lee Kum Kee Satay Sauce packets
- 1 cucumber peeled into ribbons
- 1 tbsp white vinegar we love D.Y.C
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- ¼ cup chopped coriander
To serve
- Steamed rice we love Sun Rice
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ginger, turmeric, fish sauce, lime and lemongrass. Stir well, then add the chicken and stir until coated. Leave to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Once marinated, thread the chicken onto soaked skewers and set onto a lined or non stick baking tray.
- Brush the skewers with ½ of 1 satay sauce packet, then place in the oven at 220C on grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes, then turn and baste with the remaining satay sauce. Place back in the oven and grill for a further 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- To make the cucumber salad, mix together the vinegar, sugar and sweet chilli sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cucumber ribbons and toss to coat.
- Serve the cooked skewers alongside the cucumber salad and steamed rice.
