Ingredients
-
Marinade:
1 T coconut milk
1 T brown sugar
2 T low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 t cumin
1 lemon, juiced
Sauce:
1/4 cup natural, no salt added peanut butter
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 T hot curry paste (use mild if you don't like much heat)
3 T low-sodium soy sauce
1 T light coconut milk
1/2-3/4 c water
Vegetables and Chicken:
16 oz chicken breast, boneless and skinless, diced into 3/4 inch cubes
1 T peanut oil
2 c carrots, shredded
1 onion, sliced
1 c mushrooms, sliced
1 c broccoli florets
1 c sugar snap peas
1 red bell pepper, sliced
Directions
Prepare marinade by placing all ingredients in a glass dish. Toss diced chicken into the dish and coat in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Prepare the sauce by combining all ingredients into a small saucepan. Start with 1/2 cup of warm water and add more if mixture seems thick. Place on the stove over low heat to warm. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, drain off excess marinade. Stir fry in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or flat bottomed pan. Stir fry over high heat until meat is completely cooked, remove from pan and reserve. While wok or flat bottomed pan is still hot, add onions and carrots. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, broccoli, snap peas, pepper. Continue to stir fry for 3-4 minutes. Add chicken back into the wok along with the sauce. Heat until mixture for 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is hot.
Makes 6 two cup servings.
Editor's Cooking Notes:
For a complete meal, serve with brown rice or rice noodles.
If you're watching your sodium, reduce the amount of soy sauce, but keep in mind that it will affect the balance of flavors in the sauce.
We used all-natural peanut butter for a fresh taste and healthy dose of real nuts. Chef Meg served hers over rice noodles (95 calories per half-cup serving), but you could also serve this with brown rice.

Any ideas about what to do with the remainder of a can of coconut milk? I's rather an expensive ingredient to only use 2 Tablespoons with few other recipes to use it in my rotation. Then other recipes I see using coconut milk tend to call for a whole can... What to do...? - 9/1/09

Freeze it in an ice cube tray, then pop the cubes into a plastic bag and store them in the freezer. Pull out cubes each time you need them in a recipe.

Not quite what I would think of as chicken satay, but still very good. I used lime juice instead of lemon and medium curry paste instead of hot. It was still spicy, but we liked the heat. I'll be using the frozen coconut milk (thanks for the tip!) and leftover curry paste to make this again. - 10/29/09

Is 1 frozen cube of coconut milk be equal to 1Tbsp? Also, did you actually want us to purchase 2
different cans of coconut milk? Regular coconut milk for the marinade and light for the sauce. Please, keep in mind that many of us live in rural areas, and some ingredients are hard to get & costly. - 10/29/09

Amazing! I was a little skeptical but intrigued enough to try it. My hubby was already planning what he'd eat instead when he didn't like this, but we both LOVED it and will make it again and again. Couldn't find curry paste in my rural area, so used curry powder instead. Served with wild rice. - 6/12/10

I loved it! The husband and kid were very happy!
I used mild (green) Thai curry instead of red so it cut the heat way down. I also used chunky peanut butter (forgot to buy the no salt kind while at the store) everyone loved the peanuts in it! A bit higher in fat bit I risked the fat for the flavor. - 4/5/12

Coconut is a healthy fat; and you are talking about only 2 tablespoons, 1 in a marinade and 1 in the sauce in a recipe that serves 6. The PB is what's adding the fat, and it's a "good for you" fat - so don't worry about it! This looks great. And served with rice, it's less than a 500 calorie meal! - 12/29/10

absolutely wonderful with a really authentic flavour. i found my peanut butter to be quite dry and as a result had to add another cup of water to the sauce, but it made no difference to the flavor. made 6 very large servings, all of which disappeared very quickly. couldn't fault a thing. perfect! - 4/30/10
