π’ Satay Skewers: Exotic Flavor and Quality Protein
Chicken satay is a Southeast Asian classic that stands out for its spiced marinade and its unmistakable peanut sauce. In this healthy version, we avoid refined sugars and commercial sauces, using 100% natural peanut butter to obtain all the cardioprotective fats without harmful additives.
π₯ Why it is exceptionally healthy
- Lean Protein: Chicken breast is ideal for muscle recovery and provides great satiety.
- Healthy Fats: Peanuts provide monounsaturated fatty acids, excellent for the heart and brain.
- Thermogenic Spices: Curry and ginger help speed up metabolism and have anti-inflammatory properties.
π Step-by-Step Preparation
- The Marinade: In a bowl, mix 4 tsp (20ml) of low-sodium soy sauce, the juice of half a lime, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, and a piece of grated fresh ginger.
- The Chicken: Cut 14 oz (400g) of chicken breast into long, thin strips. Put them in the marinade, stir well, and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Skewering: Thread the chicken strips onto skewers (if they are wooden, soak them in water beforehand so they don't burn).
- The Magic Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat 1.8 oz (50g) of natural peanut butter, 1 fl oz (30ml) of light coconut milk, 2 tsp (10ml) of soy sauce, and a few drops of sriracha (optional). Stir until you get a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Cooking: Cook the skewers on a very hot griddle with a drop of EVOO, about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden and cooked inside.
- Service: Serve the skewers hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce in a separate bowl, and sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro.
