| Chicken Satay Kebab Recipe |

Superb cooked under the grill or on a barbeque, these Chicken Satay kebabs are large enough for a main meal when served with rice on Naan bread. The key to success is to cook them over a high heat so that the satay mixture on the chicken turns a golden brown - delicious! |

Cut the sweet red pepper in half, remove the stalk, pith and
seeds. Then slice each half into thin slices.
If you prefer to use a carrot, top and tail it, peel it and then cut off thin narrow slices. |
 |
Trim the chicken
breasts if they have too much fat on them. Place each chicken breast
between two sheets of cling and firmly hit it with a rolling pin until it
is flattened out thin. Cut each chicken breast in half. See the picture on the left to get an idea of how thin the chicken should be. |
 |
Now's a good time to start boiling the rice.
Mix the Coconut Cream, peanut butter and Worcestershire Sauce in a bowl.
Use a fork to mix it all together to an even consistency. Pour half the mixture into a shallow bowl and add the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces around in the mixture until they are all coated with it. |
 |
Thread each skewer through a piece of chicken and balance it on cooking plate as
shown in the picture. Try and thread the skewer so that it is evenly
balanced. Place under the preheated grill and cook for 4 minutes then turn the kebab and cook for a further 4 minutes |
 |
Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the remaining
Satay Sauce (NOT the half used to coat the raw chicken) and heat on
a low temperature. Add half the lemon juice to the Satay Sauce. Serve the rice on a warmed plate, spread the red pepper or carrot strips on the rice and top with the cooked kebabs. Sprinkle the remaining lemon juice over the kebabs and add the heated satay sauce. |
 |
If you prefer Naan brad to rice, simply heat up the Naan bread in the oven according to the pack instructions and use it instead of the rice. |
