Chicken Satay
Print Friendly and PDF

Skewered chicken flavored with peanuts and spices, this Chicken Satay is exotic enough to thrill the grownups, but mild enough for kids. It’s perfect for a family cookout or a small outdoor party. Serve these with skewers of grilled Vidalia onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and red bell peppers. Delicious!

Ingredients
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes for skewers
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions

Place chicken in a shallow bowl or baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, then pour over chicken. Refrigerate and allow to marinate overnight.

Preheat grill until hot or preheat the broiler.

Thread chicken onto skewers. Discard marinade. Grill or broil chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F.

Hi, there-
I also find that cilantro tastes like soap. I always thought people were crazy for liking it, but it turns out it is genetics! According to Charles Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, some people may be predisposed to dislike cilantro due to their taste buds.
But to answer your question, you could leave out the cilantro altogether or add a universal herb such as parsley.
Enjoy!
