Chicken Satay Curry
Creamy Chicken Satay Curry
This chicken satay curry is perfect for a speedy healthy weeknight dinner, and comes together in under 20 minutes.
My favourite kind of meals are ones that have simple ingredients but tons of flavour, and this speedy curry does not disappoint! The sauce is a perfect mix of savoury and sweet. A sweet nutty flavour from the peanut butter, saltiness from the soy sauce and creaminess from the coconut milk. This is such a versatile sauce it works with curries, noodles, in wraps and as a salad dressing.
Serve this curry with rice, and a fresh crunchy cucumber salad!
The Recipe
Chicken Satay Curry
Ingredients
- 250 g chicken diced
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 400 ml coconut milk from milk carton
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- salt and pepper
- rice or noodles serving suggestion
- pakchoi or broccoli serving suggestion
Instructions
- Marinate your diced chicken in the garlic granules, chilli powder, 1 tsp of curry powder, salt and pepper.
- Next mix up your sauce in a jug or bowl – add in the coconut milk, peanut butter, sriracha, stir well and set aside.
- Next add some spray oil or oil to a pan. Fry off the chicken on low medium heat till its half cooked – this is important as it will continue cooking with the sauce and you don’t want to over cook it.
- Pour the sauce, into the pan and the turn the gas up to medium till the sauce starts bubbling. You have to keep stirring the chicken and sauce for 5 minutes till the thin mixture starts to bubble and you should see it start to thicken. Take off the heat once the sauce reaches a creamy consistency and when the chicken is cooked through.
- You can also cook the chicken in one pan and cook the sauce separately, in a sauce pan and add the cooked chicken to the sauce if easier.

Ingredient Swaps
If you can’t have peanuts you can try this with almond butter as well. And if you have run out of soy sauce then a little but of marmite actually brings a similar flavour as well!
