When you skewer chicken on a stick and combine it with a no-cook peanut dipping sauce, steamed rice and fresh veg, you have got an easy family dinner that is worth remembering. These delicious Chicken Satay Skewers can be made ahead of time and frozen and the mouth-watering peanut sauce (which is made with a handful of pantry staples!) can also be made ahead of time, perfect for busy weeknights. If threading chicken onto skewers isn’t your idea of a good time, simply marinate the chicken fillets and cook them whole. I’ve served these skewers with cucumber, red onion and coriander but you can use whatever is in season where you are (steamed veg, like broccoli, green beans, pak choy, buk choy, sugar snap, carrots, cauliflower and baby corn would all work really well!)
Chicken skewers
No-cook peanut dipping sauce
To serve
Note 1 – I like to buy peanuts in their shell – They last so much longer in the pantry. Simply peel on demand and chop roughly using your kitchen knife.
MAKE AHEAD – Refrigerate marinated skewers for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Cook as per the recipe. Prepare the sauce and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate cooked chicken and peanut sauce in separate containers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. Not suitable for freezing.

Isn’t it ridiculously easy but so tasty – One of my littles find it a little bit spicy too but I get away with it… Only just. 😂 Thank you SO much for trying the recipe and taking the time to comment! x
