Ready to travel without leaving your kitchen? These chicken skewers with satay sauce are just what you need! Tender chicken, marinated in a blend of spices that makes your mouth water just thinking about it, then grilled to perfection :) And the sauce? A little flavor bomb, with peanut butter, soft coconut milk, a touch of red curry to spice things up and a hint of lime for balance. It's creamy, gourmet and super addictive! Serve with a little rice, a few crunchy peanuts and a little coriander for freshness.

The marinade:
Peel the ginger with a teaspoon, then grate.
*Here we've used half the peeled piece.
Place the oil, salt, pepper, curry powder, turmeric, coriander, grated ginger and crushed garlic in a bowl and toss to combine.
Cut the chicken into small cubes and add to the bowl. Mix well, then filter the bowl before chilling for at least 1h30.
Satay sauce:
Mix oil, peanut butter, red curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, soy sauce and crushed garlic in a saucepan.
Place the pan over the heat and bring to the boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking. Remove from heat when sauce has thickened.
Rice:
Cook the rice with 1.5 times its volume in water for 10 minutes, covered.
Skewers:
Form skewers with the marinated chicken pieces by stabbing them into skewer picks.
Place the skewers in a large, hot frying pan over medium heat and cook for 4 min per side.
*Adjust the cooking time if necessary, turning them over when the sides are golden brown.
Serve skewers with rice and sauce on the side. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and coriander.
