Classic Indonesian satés feature skewered meat, fish, or poultry that is grilled or broiled. Total time: 45 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 skewers and about 1/4 cup sauce)

Ingredients

  • Saté:
  • 1/2  cup  chopped shallots (about 4)
  • 2  tablespoons  dark brown sugar
  • 1  tablespoon  minced fresh ginger
  • 1  tablespoon  sambal oelek (chile paste with garlic)
  • 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  teaspoons  coriander seeds
  • 2  teaspoons  canola oil
  • 1  teaspoon  fish sauce
  • 1/2  teaspoon  turmeric
  • 1/2  teaspoon  black peppercorns
  • Dash of freshly ground nutmeg
  • 4  garlic cloves
  • 2  whole cloves
  • 1 1/2  pounds  chicken breast tenders

  • Peanut Sauce:
  • 1/2  cup  reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3  cup  water
  • 3  tablespoons  lime juice
  • 1  tablespoon  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  teaspoons  dark brown sugar
  • 1  teaspoon  hot paprika
  • 1  teaspoon  Sriracha (hot chile sauce, such as Huy Fong)

  • Remaining ingredient:
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

To prepare saté, place first 13 ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth. Place shallot mixture and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 10 minutes.

To prepare peanut sauce, combine peanut butter and next 6 ingredients (through Sriracha) in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk.

Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread chicken on 8 (12-inch) wooden skewers. Place skewers on the rack of a broiler or roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 12 minutes or until done. Serve with peanut sauce.

Devine! Everytime we make this, guests rave...from our dinner group to my sister's 50th birthday celebration. We grilled the chicken...it was moist and incredibly flavorful. And, drizzled the peanut sauce over brown rice and broccoli too. This is a winner.01/04/10

My family LOVES this recipe!! It is definitely on my dinner rotation. The only complaint I have is that prep is a bit labor intensive - in other words, it's not a 20 minute meal. I serve it with either white or brown rice and a salad.11/21/09
