Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
Marinade
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon fish sauce
16 bamboo skewers
oil or coconut milk
peanut sauce (recipe #63210)
fresh cilantro leaves
romaine lettuce leaf

Directions

1

Cut thin (1/4-inch) slices that run the length of the chicken breast (each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch approximately) to get 16 slices.
2

If you find it difficult to cut thinly through fresh meat, leave it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden slightly and then slice.
3

Place the chicken strips in a plastic freezer bag.
4

Add all the marinating ingredients and gently toss until well mixed.
5

Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 to 24 hours.
6

When ready to cook the satays, stir chicken in its marinade and then thread each slice onto a skewer, working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the slice, so that it stays in place during grilling.
7

Baste the chicken with oil or coconut milk and grill on a barbecue or under the broiler.
8

Cook for not much more than 2 minutes each side, turning fairly often to prevent unnecessary burning, and baste one more time with oil or coconut milk.
9

The satays are done when they have turned golden brown and crispy along the edges.
10

Serve on lettuce leaves, decorated with fresh cilantro leaves, and accompanied by a small bowl of Peanut Sauce on the side.
