Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 pcs Garlic clove
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the chicken and mix well. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

Step 3

In a saucepan, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, ground ginger, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and chili flakes (if using).

Step 4

Stir the sauce mixture over medium heat until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and pour the prepared satay sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly in the sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
