Total time:40 minServings:

4

Ingredients:

5 chicken breasts (about 800g in weight.)
8 long skewers

Marinade

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

Peanut Sauce

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

Vegetables for Skewers

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)

Directions:

1
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.
2
Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using to prevent them from burning while cooking.
3
Reserve marinade. Thread a piece of chicken followed by a mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken, mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken and vegetables.
4
Grill or BBQ skewers turning a couple of times and basting with the reserved marinade. Until cooked about 15-20 minutes.
5
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.
6
Sauce.
7
I prefer to make this ahead of time and just re-heat as this allows for the flavors to really come out.
8
Heat oil in a pan, add onions and garlic and cook to soften onion.
9
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.
