Peanut Chicken Satay Recipe

Peanut Chicken Satay

Looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s bursting with flavour? Look no further than my homemade Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry! Tender chicken pieces are stir-fried and coated in a mouthwatering peanut sauce. Plus, it’s a healthy meal you can whip up in under 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy nights. I like to serve it with rice and fresh crunchy textures with cucumbers, coriander, fresh chilli, crushed peanuts and lime wedges.

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken with curry powder and salt, toss to coat and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and 2-3 tbsp of water.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add the onion and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the chicken, and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. Turn the heat off, and stir through the peanut sauce. Add 2-3 more tbsp of water to loosen the sauce if required. Serve with rice, cucumbers, coriander, fresh chilli, crushed peanuts and lime wedges.

Notes

MAKE AHEAD – This dish is best made fresh, but you can prepare the chicken in advance to make this an extra speedy dinner. 

LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until piping hot. Add a 1-2 tbsp of water to loosen the sauce if needed. Not suitable for freezing.

    Hey Nic, Could you do this with Breast chicken instead? x

    • Nicole

      You absolutely could! Because this dish is cooked nice and quickly, the chicken breast would remain perfectly juicy and delicious – Thank you for mentioning this! I have added it as a substitution to the recipe! 😍 x
