Chicken Satay

Chicken Satay

Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
juice of 1/2 lime
2 skinless,boneless chicken breasts,cut into small cubes
Dip:
2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil
1 small onion,chopped finely
1 small fresh green chilli,deseeded and chopped
1 garlic clove,chopped finely
125 ml crunchy peanut butter
6-8 tbsp water
juice of 1/2 lime

Method:

• Combine both the oils and the lime juice in a non-metallic dish.Add the chicken cubes,cover with clingfilm and chill for 1 hour.
• To make the dip,heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onion,chilli and garlic over low heat,stirring occasionally,for about 5 minutes,until just softened.
• Add the peanut butter,water and lime juice and simmer gently,stirring constantly,until the peanut butter has softened enough to make a dip-you may need to add extra water to make a thinner consistency.
• Meanwhile,drain the chicken cubes and thread them onto 8-12 wooden skewers- soak the skewers in cold water for 45 minutes before threading the meat to help stop them burning during cooking.
• Put under a hot grill or on a barbecue,turning frequently,for about 10 minutes, until cooked and browned.
• Serve hot with the warm dip.
