PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN KABOBS



Peanut Butter Chicken Kabobs image

This recipe is inspired by beef kabobs from West Africa commonly called suya (or seree in Sierra Leone) and consisting of spicy skewered beef pieces traditionally marinated in homemade tomato paste and ground peanuts. You can recreate a similar flavor profile at home with the peanut butter in your pantry--it's a great ingredient to play with. Using peanut butter in savory dinner recipes adds a rich, nutty taste and the fat helps keep the protein moist.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small onion
2 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the grill if needed

  • In the bowl of a food processor, grate the onion until it's finely chopped. Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, olive oil, cumin, salt, crushed red pepper and powdered ginger. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Transfer the sauce to a large bowl. Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates with olive oil, if necessary.

MARINATED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH A PEANUT SATAY SAUCE



Marinated Chicken Kebabs With a Peanut Satay Sauce image

I have been making this recipe for years and every time I make it I get rave reviews. It really is nothing special, I think, it is just that, the flavors all come together so well and the peanut sauce is so yummy. I make my sauce with smooth peanut butter as I am not a fan of crunchy, but I think this would be fine if you prefer to have the peanut chunks in the sauce.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 chicken breasts (about 800g in weight.)
8 long skewers
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder (I use hot curry powder)
3 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 large onion, chopped into wedges
8 -16 mushrooms (depends on size if they are large chop in half and you will only need 8 if small and using whole mus)

Steps:

  • Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or storage container. Chop chicken into about 2cm cubed pieces, add to marinade and marinate for several hours or overnight.
  • Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using to prevent them from burning while cooking.
  • Reserve marinade. Thread a piece of chicken followed by a mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken, mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken and vegetables.
  • Grill or BBQ skewers turning a couple of times and basting with the reserved marinade. Until cooked about 15-20 minutes.
  • I usually use red and yellow peppers as well but as I was serving these over a Thai-style salad that already had peppers in it, I chose to omit them.
  • Sauce.
  • I prefer to make this ahead of time and just re-heat as this allows for the flavors to really come out.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add onions and garlic and cook to soften onion.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine, leave on a low heat, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens. Sauce can be made a day ahead and just re-heated.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1 tablespoon warm water, or as needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Stir mayonnaise, lime zest, ginger, salt, and pepper for the marinade in a bowl until smooth. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage the bag until all the chicken pieces are coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and sambal oelek together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in small amounts of warm water until dipping sauce reaches the desired consistency; set aside.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and thread chicken onto the skewers; discard marinade.
  • Place skewers on the hot grill and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, lowering the heat if chicken is browning too fast. Turn skewers as often as necessary for even browning, and to keep the chicken from burning.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges and peanut sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your kabobs the best flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a flavorful sauce or marinade will help it stay tender and juicy while cooking.
  • Skewer the chicken and vegetables tightly. This will help prevent them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Baste the kabobs with the reserved marinade or sauce while cooking. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce. A spicy peanut sauce is a classic choice, but you can also use a yogurt sauce, a teriyaki sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy peanut chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. They are also a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these kabobs a try!
