This is a great recipe for summertime grilling. I love making this for company, either for dinner or for an appetizer.

Chicken Satay

Ingredients:

1 tsp coriander seed
1 tsp cumin seed
1 Tbs chopped garlic
1 Tbs fresh grated ginger
1 bunch (mostly stems) cilantro
2 Tbs fish sauce
1 Tbs curry powder
pinch of tumeric powder
1/2 can coconut milk
3 Tbs of palm sugar
1-2 lbs of chicken breast (cut into thin slices)
bamboo skewers

NOTE: Red bird chicken (at City Market) has pre-sliced breast and that works great!

Soak bamboo in water for 30 mins.

Place the coriander, cumin, garlic and cilantro in food processor and pulse for few seconds until coarsely chopped. Add all ingredients in lg. pyrex dish, you might need to heat the palm sugar up a bit for it to melt.  Mix well and add sliced chicken and marinate (preferably overnight) for at least 2-3 hours.

Prepare grill and take chicken out of fridge and let come to room temp. before placing on grill.  Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side.
