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!

If you prefer to use a carrot, top and tail it, peel it and then cut off thin narrow slices.

Chicken Satay Kebabs on rice. 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.
