Instructions
How to make Chicken Satay
- Start by cutting your chicken breasts into strips that are thick enough to be on wooden skewers. Once they are cut, set aside.
- Mix together the chicken satay package ingredients in a large bowl.
- Take your cut up pieces of chicken and add them onto the skewers. Once added, dip and cover them with the mixed up satay mixture.
- Once they are covered, place them on a hot griddle or pan and cook until they are completely done.
- Always ensure that the chicken is cooked all the way through before removing from the pan.
How to make Cucumber Salad
- Begin by washing off the cucumbers. Then remove the outer skin and dice up the insides into small, square bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Dice up your red onion and cilantro. Add in your cut up cucumber bites. Mix together in a bowl.
- Next, add in your white wine vinegar, chili pepper flakes, sugar, and pepper. Stir.
How to make a Peanut Dipping Sauce
- Take your 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (chunky or smooth) and mix in a very small amount of chili oil and pepper flakes. THIS IS GOING TO BE HOT. If you don't want it to be hot, omit and add a small amount of coconut oil instead. (You're just needed to add a liquid base that is going to make the peanut dipping sauce just a little less thick than it already is.)
