Description
A vibrant, gluten-free Chicken Satay Salad Bowl with a creamy peanut dressing and Southeast Asian flair.
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons ginger paste
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons brown sugar or honey
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, and chopped peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, coriander, chili powder, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar or honey. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
2. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, using about 5 to 6 pieces per skewer. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.)
4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.
5. Cook the skewers for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
6. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1–2 more minutes until the chicken is done.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro, lime juice, and chopped peanuts.
8. Serve over rice or vegetables.
Notes
Serve with rice, quinoa, or fresh greens for a light gluten-free meal. The peanut dressing adds a creamy, nutty flavor perfect for meal prep.
