How to make this recipe

  1. Preheat BBQ to high heat (mine usually heats to 500 F).
  2. Mix together ingredients for chicken satay and let chicken marinate for 30 minutes or so. Meanwhile, toss veggies with olive oil and salt/pepper in a large bowl, then add to long skewers.
  3. Add chicken to smaller skewers (use large if you don't have any). Grill chicken and veggies together for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  4. Remove from grill, add to meal prep bowls and top with red chilies and cilantro. Serve along with rice or quinoa if desired. Leftovers will last in fridge up to 5 days.

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Red pepper – Feel free to swap out red pepper for whichever colour bell pepper is your favourite!
  • Zucchini – I recommend zucchini but if you're not a fan of zucchini, you can leave it out or switch it out for pineapple if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  • Red Onion – White onions are a great alternative to red onion.
  • Olive Oil – You can swap this out for vegetable oil or sunflower oil.
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Skewers (short and long)
  • Red Chili, sliced (optional)
  • Cilantro (optional)

Satay Marinade

  • Chicken breast – Chicken breasts are a leaner option, but feel free to use chicken thighs instead.
  • Coconut milk – Coconut milk will give a Southeast Asian-inspired taste with this dish but heavy cream or any non dairy milk will work if you're in a pinch.
  • Olive oil – See the listed alternative above.
  • Lime juice
  • Soy sauce – Instead of soy sauce you can opt to use tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Garlic – Fresh or jarred minced garlic.
  • Ginger – If you don't have fresh ginger you can use dried ginger.
  • Turmeric
  • Chili powder

What does chicken satay taste like?

Chicken satay is a popular dish in Southeast Asia, primarily Malaysia and Indonesia. It basically is a seasoned, skewered meat. The taste of chicken satay is unbeatable and once you've tried it, I know you'll be hooked! The meat is cooked in a marinade filled with flavours that taste amazing but also make the chicken taste tender and juicy. The flavours are also accompanied by great aromas of chili and citrus that make eating satay a true experience of the senses. My version is a much more simplified one inspired by variations of the dish – it is not authentic but it sure is tasty!

Storing and reheating

To keep your chicken satay as a lunch for the upcoming week, place your chicken and veggies in to a container together or separated as individual servings so they're ready to enjoy! When you're ready to enjoy your satay, warm up your bowl for 1-2 minutes until warmed up!

Freezing leftover chicken

If you have leftover chicken, the best way to keep it for upcoming meals is to freeze it! If you haven't frozen leftover chicken before, here's how:

  1. Allow the meat to cool down to room temperature.
  2. Divide the leftovers into portions and place them into airtight meal prep containers or freezer-safe bags.
  3. Your leftover raw chicken pieces like breast or thighs can be kept in the freezer for up to nine months. Cooked chicken can be kept in the freezer for up to three months.
