Chicken Satay Bowl

5 from 1 vote
This Chicken Satay Bowl is the best chicken rice bowl I have ever made. Juicy grilled chicken thighs meet a silky, peanutty satay sauce, all served up with fluffy jasmine rice and crisp greens. It’s an easy weeknight but boujee enough for entertaining.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken thighs boneless skinless
  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
Peanut Satay sauce
  • 1 can coconut milk 7 oz
  • 2 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon of red Thai curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Juice of ½ of lime
Garnish with green onions and lime wedges
Serve with a green salad and jasmine rice

Equipment

  • 1 BBQ Grill you can air fry or pan fry
  • 1 small pot to make the satay sauce

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken thighs with curry paste, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoon coconut milk. Coat well and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
  2. Make the satay sauce: In a small pot, combine the remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, curry paste, fish sauce, honey, and lime juice. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until smooth and fragrant. Taste and adjust for sweetness, saltiness, or acidity.
  3. Make the rice and salad.
  4. Cook the chicken: Grill the chicken thighs over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Serve the chicken with jasmine rice and a side of green salad. Drizzle generously with the peanut satay sauce and finish with green onions and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Batch cook the sauce: Double the satay sauce recipe. It freezes well and makes a quick dip or noodle sauce later.
  • Grill alternatives: No grill? Pan-sear or air fry the chicken at 375°F for 18–20 minutes.
