Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring spoons & cups
  • Frying pan
  • Oven tray
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Stove & oven

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g diced chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 70 g smooth peanut butter
  • 60 g sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 75 ml Alpro coconut drink

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
    Sprinkle the curry powder over the diced chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Set it aside to let those flavors develop while you prepare the sauce.
  • Step 2: Make the Satay Sauce
    In a saucepan over low heat, mix together the peanut butter, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and coconut drink. Stir continuously until it becomes smooth and slightly thick. Once ready, set aside 1/3 of the sauce for dipping later.
  • Step 3: Assemble & Sear the Skewers
    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and quickly sear the chicken on all sides until lightly golden.
  • Step 4: Bake or Grill to Perfection
    Transfer the skewers to an oven tray and drizzle a bit of the satay sauce over them. Cook in a preheated oven or under the grill until the chicken is fully cooked. Keep an eye on them so they don’t dry out!
  • Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
    Drizzle the remaining sauce over the skewers, or use it as a dipping sauce. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite veggies for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the marinade – letting the curry powder sit on the chicken for a while enhances the flavor.
  • Low heat for the sauce – peanut butter can burn quickly, so stir constantly.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water before using to prevent burning in the oven or on the grill.
  • Don’t overcook – chicken can dry out if left too long. Keep an eye on it while grilling or baking!
