Chicken & Marinade

600 g chicken breast fillet without skin
15 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp curry powder
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 lemon (juice and zest)

Peanut Sauce

75 g peanut butter
1 clove garlic cloves
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 red chili pepper
1 pinch fine sea salt

Preparation & Marinating

1
Preheat the grill or prepare a grill pan.
2
For the marinade, zest the lemon and squeeze out the juice. In a large bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, curry powder, soy sauce, and pepper.
3
Wash the chicken breast fillets, pat them dry, and cut them lengthwise into strips about 1 cm wide. Each breast yields about 3–4 strips.
4
Add the chicken strips to the bowl with the marinade, mix well, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

Grilling & Preparing the Sauce

1
Thread the marinated meat strips in a wavy pattern onto wooden skewers (approx. 20-25 cm long). Use about 2 strips per skewer, resulting in about 6–8 skewers.
2
Place the skewers on the hot grill and sear for about 2–3 minutes on each side. Then, finish cooking for another 3–4 minutes over indirect heat or reduced temperature.
3
While the meat is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce: Peel the garlic, deseed the chili, and finely chop. Put peanut butter, garlic, chili, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt into a blender cup. Add a little water and blend with an immersion blender until a smooth sauce is formed.
4
Arrange the finished chicken skewers on plates and serve with the peanut sauce. Jasmine rice or a fresh salad are excellent accompaniments.

Tipp: Weichen Sie die Holzspieße vor der Verwendung etwa 30 Minuten in Wasser ein, damit sie auf dem Grill nicht verbrennen. Als Beilage eignet sich besonders gut duftender Jasminreis oder ein knackiger Gurkensalat.
