Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 1 kg chicken breast fillets, cut into bite-sized cubes

Chicken Marinade:

• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 small piece of fresh turmeric (or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder)
• Salt to taste

For the Peanut Sauce:

• 500 grams peanuts, roasted
• 5 cloves garlic, roasted with the peanuts
• Salt to taste
• Water, as needed
• Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to taste
• 4 shallots, thinly sliced, for garnish

Additional:

• Skewers, soaked in water if wooden
• Oil, for grilling
• Fried shallots (optional, for added aroma)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Combine the chicken with the chicken marinade ingredients: garlic, coriander seeds, turmeric, and salt. Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the marinade. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

2. Prepare the Peanut Sauce:

   • Blend the roasted peanuts and garlic until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add water until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
   • Once the sauce is simmering and has thickened slightly, stir in sweet soy sauce and mix well. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

3. Grill the Satay:

   • Heat a Teflon pan over low heat. Lightly oil the pan or brush the chicken skewers with oil. Grill the chicken satay, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned. This may take about 10-15 minutes.

4. Serve:

   • Arrange the grilled chicken satay on a serving platter. Drizzle with the peanut sauce and garnish with thinly sliced shallots. Optionally, sprinkle with fried shallots for added flavor and aroma.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve the chicken satay hot with additional peanut sauce on the side. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or as a stand-alone snack.

This simple yet satisfying recipe provides a quick way to enjoy the delicious flavors of traditional Indonesian satay. Don’t worry about presentation; focus on the taste and savor each bite. Enjoy your homemade Teflon Chicken Satay!
