Chicken satay is one of the most popular Asian appetizers that everyone loves, served with THE BEST creamy peanut sauce! This is a high calorie and high protein meal.

*tbsp: tablespoon    tsp: tablespoon     cup: 250ml

 

Method:

1. Marinade: Mix all ingredients in a bowl (apart from the chicken)
2. Cut the chicken in small cubes and marinate in the mixture (20 minutes or the night before)
3. Thread each piece of chicken onto a bamboo skewer 
4. Place skewers lined in a baking pot and cover with the remaining marinate.
5. Bake covered in foil for 10-15 minutes and then remove foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes (until thoroughly cooked – you should be having a caramelized sauce in the baking pot)

 

Dietitians Tip:  This is a dish with high caloric value due to the peanut butter. You can enjoy it with steamed basmati rice and vegetables.
