Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast or Chicken Tenders
  • Marinade
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 1 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/4 cup Natural Peanut butter
  • 1 Lime (Juice)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic crushed or minced
  • 1 Tbsp Swerve Brown Sugar or Keto approved version you like
  • 1 Tbsp Chili Paste more to taste - adds spice
  • 2 Tbsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Peanut Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oil of your choice
  • 1/2 cup Finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp Chili paste More to taste - adds spice
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 Lime (Juice)
  • 1 tsp Swerve Brown Sugar or Keto approved version you like
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 cup Peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro to top the peanut sauce with (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or Gallon Zip lock bag combine your marinade ingredients.
  • Clean and prepare your chicken. I use chicken tenders, but you can cut chicken breasts into strips or even cube it into approx 1 inch pieces for more flavor.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and place in refrigerator for 2-4 hours
  • Near the end of the marinating process, you can begin preparing your peanut sauce...
  • Star off with cooking your finely chopped onion in oil about 3-4 minutes or until tender.
  • Add your fresh chili paste (I usually use a tablespoon for a little more heat, but you can adjust to your preference, my recipe calls for 2 tsp, keeping it pretty mild) give this a good stir to bring out the flavors of the chili paste.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the peanut butter and cilantro.
  • Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Turn heat to low and add your peanut butter and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Top your peanut sauce off with some fresh cilantro (optional) and it is ready to serve.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, and thread onto skewers.
  • Grill on medium heat until the chicken reaches and internal temperature of 160 degrees.
  • Top off with some chopped cilantro or even chopped peanuts, and serve it up with slices of lime wedges and peanut sauce!

Notes

This recipe makes a significant amount of peanut sauce -  Save any leftovers and serve it with cucumbers or bell peppers for a snack, so yummy!  
Real, good-quality coconut milk is an essential ingredient in this Easy Coconut Lime Rice Recipe – be sure to buy the canned variety not the coconut milk beverage.
I like a little heat in my chicken satay.  You can adjust your chili paste amount to your liking.  I use this.  
Soak your skewers in water for about 30 minutes before adding the chicken to prevent them from burning on the grill.
You can make your Chicken Satay in a pan, or in the oven.  Don’t have skewers, no need it will taste delicious either way.  
Top with some chopped cilantro or even chopped peanuts, and serve it up with slices of lime wedges and peanut sauce!
 Coconut Lime Cauliflower “Rice” goes great with this as a side!  Find the recipe here.
