15-Minute Peanut Satay Chicken Skewers

Ruthy Kirwan
This chicken recipe is an all-time favorite of my kids. You can use creamy or chunky peanut butter here- both will work well. If you don’t have white pepper, use half as much in crushed black pepper. If your market sells chicken tenderloins, they’re a great cut instead of plain chicken breasts, which you’ll have to cut anyway. This dish is great the next day stuffed in a pita with some greens as a salad.

Equipment

  • 1 10 inch Cast Iron Pan

Ingredients
  

For the chicken:

  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground white pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast sliced into strips

For the lime-cilantro rice

  • 2 cups long grain white rice
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 1 ounce fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

Prep Ahead:

  • Combine the satay ingredients and the chicken in a large resealable bag or container and toss to coat.
  • Prepare the rice as directed and stir in the cilantro. Transfer to and store in a resealable bag or container.

Prepare From Prepped:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add the chicken to the pan, side by side, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on each side and cooked through. You may have to work in batches.
  • Heat the lime cilantro rice and serve alongside the cooked chicken.

Make From Fresh:

  • Combine the chicken satay ingredients in a large bag or bowl and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rice.
  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then transfer the rinsed rice to a pot with a tight fitting lid.
  • Add 4 cups of water and the lime juice to the pot, then bring to a boil, covered.
  • Remove the lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until all the liquid has cooked off and the rice is cooked through.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  • While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add the chicken to the pan, side by side, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on each side and cooked through. You may have to work in batches.
  • Serve the chicken with the rice on the side.

You work hard. Dinner should be easy.

At Percolate Kitchen, we believe that the “third shift” of getting dinner ready shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel every evening.

Recipes on our site are broken down into simple, step-by-step processes so you can be flexible with your time- make the meal fresh, prep the ingredients to assemble and cook later, or do a little bit of both.
