Ingredients
- Juice of two vibrant lemons
- Creamy peanut butter, a spoonful
- Tomato puree, a dollop
- Brown sugar for sweetness, a tablespoon
- Worcestershire sauce, rich and flavorful, a spoonful
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper
- A dash of fiery crushed red pepper flakes
- Garlic, crushed for a burst of flavor
- Tender, boneless chicken breast halves, six in number
- Drizzle of fragrant olive oil, a tablespoon
Step 1
Mix lemon juice, peanut butter, tomato puree, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a spacious bowl until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Step 2
Using a meat pounder or a sturdy saucer, gently flatten the chicken breasts to around 1/2 inch thickness. Submerge the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes; however, a longer marination time is recommended for enhanced flavor.
Step 3
In a large heavy skillet, heat olive oil until it is very hot. Take out the chicken breasts from the marinade, disposing of the excess marinade. Pan-fry the chicken in the hot oil until they are browned on both sides and the juices run clear, approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side. The caramelized brown sugar and nutty peanut butter might cause the chicken to stick to the pan, resulting in a delicious charred flavor.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Marinate the chicken in a flavorful mix of spices and herbs for at least 2 hours before grilling to enhance the taste and juiciness.
- 2. After grilling the chicken satay to perfection, allow it to cool completely before storing to maintain its delicious tenderness.
