How to Make Satay Chicken Curry

  1. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.
  2. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric. Blend until smooth. Pour over chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  3. Cover the bowl with cling film and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade, until cooked through.
  5. While the chicken grills, prepare the peanut sauce. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1-2 tablespoons chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Pour the peanut sauce into a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Add the grilled chicken to the peanut sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  8. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for an extra burst of freshness.
