Ingredients
 

  • 700 grams chicken breast (approximately 3 breasts)
  • 200 mL coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

Satay Dipping Sauce

  • 50 grams peanut butter
  • 200 mL coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced

To Serve

  • 2 tablespoons peanuts, roasted and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced
  • fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken into long thin strips. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic, coconut cream, cumin, ginger and coriander. Mix together and then cover. Place in the fridge and marinade for at least 1 hour.
  • Place all the satay dipping sauce ingredients into a saucepan (except the lime juice) and heat over a medium-low heat. Stir until thickened, but don't let the mixture boil. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Set aside.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge and thread onto skewers. Heat a barbecue on high heat and cook the chicken for approximately 10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Place the skewers onto a serving plate and then top with slices of chilli, fresh coriander, a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some chopped toasted peanuts. Serve the dipping sauce in a bowl on the side.
