🌶️ Thai Chicken Satay (Simple & Healthy) & Peanut Sauce

🌶️ Thai Chicken Satay (Simple & Healthy)

Juicy, zesty, and full of Thai-inspired flavour, these grilled chicken skewers are quick to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners or BBQ nights. The lemon, ginger, garlic, and paprika give the chicken brightness and warmth—while a light char from the grill brings everything together.

🛒 Ingredients

• ½ pack chicken (Costco pack)

• 1 lime — juice + zest + 1 for serving

• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

• ½ tbsp garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp paprika

• ½ tbsp salt

• ½ tbsp black pepper

To serve:

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Green onions, chopped

• Lime wedges

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

Add chicken to a bowl. Mix in lime juice + zest, ginger, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat well.
Let it marinate at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper flavour.

2. Thread the Skewers

Place chicken pieces on skewers, spacing them out slightly.
Use your fingers to spread the pieces evenly—don’t overcrowd so they char nicely.

3. Grill

Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high.
Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly charred.

4. Garnish & Serve

Transfer skewers to a plate, sprinkle with green onions, and lay lime wedges around the sides for squeezing.

Serve with:
✔ rice or rice noodles
✔ cucumber salad
✔ peanut sauce (optional but delicious)
