Chicken Satay, a classic street food favorite, brings the aromatic flavors of Southeast Asia right to your table. This dish pairs succulent grilled chicken strips marinated in a harmonious blend of soy sauce, lime, and spices, with a rich, creamy peanut sauce that’s utterly irresistible. The tanginess of the lime juice balances the sweetness of the honey, while the Sriracha adds a subtle kick, creating a multifaceted flavor profile that dances on the palate. Skewered and grilled to perfection, each bite of the chicken satay is a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create something truly magical.
Ingredients:
-For the Chicken:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce or additional 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

-For the Peanut Sauce:
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
2 teaspoons fish sauce or additional 2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 small lime)
-Garnish:
Chopped fresh cilantro, chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, and lime wedges
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients except the chicken: soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add chicken strips, toss to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
For the peanut sauce, combine chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until smooth and thickened (about 6 minutes), then stir in lime juice.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Thread chicken onto skewers and grill until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve skewers sprinkled with cilantro and peanuts, alongside peanut sauce and lime wedges.
