Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, zest and juice of
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or liquid aminos (gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3–4 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey or sugar
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 medium garlic clove, grated
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, lime zest and juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder, dried ginger, and salt. Use tongs to mix well, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, water, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, and grated garlic until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. Set the sauce aside until ready to serve.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning; metal skewers can be used as is. Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers, laying them flat side down in a ribbon-like fashion. You should get approximately 10 skewers.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat, around 500°F, and lightly spray the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the chicken skewers on the grill, closing the lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the chicken is fully cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken satay from the grill and serve immediately with the peanut sauce drizzled over or on the side as a dip.
