Paleo Chicken Satay with "Peanut" Sauce
& Cucumber Relish

Picture
I love Chicken Satay, but I don't always love the ingredients. Here is a simple and  delicious recipe you won't feel guilty about eating! You can serve satay as an appetizer, but I prefer rounding it out as a full dinner.
Serves 2 people as a dinner or 4 as an appetizer
Prep time 1 hour 15 minutes/ Cook time 15 minutes
Ingredients:

(For the chicken)

  • 2 chicken breasts cut in half length wise and then cut into strips (8 pieces)
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Heaping 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 8 wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
(For the sauce)

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons canned coconut milk
  • 2-3 shakes of red pepper flakes
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1-2 tablespoons of water for thinning
(For the cucumber relish)

  • 1 English cucumber cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method:

Chicken- Mix all ingredients and allow to marinate for at least an hour. Thread chicken on skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes each side.

Sauce- place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add water if needed for thinning.

Relish- mix all ingredients and allow to sit in fridge while chicken marinates.
