Thai-Style Grilled Chicken Satay Bowls
with Spicy Peanut Sauce, Cucumber Salad & Cilantro
- Peanuts
- Soy
- Wheat
**Now with more chicken and rice! You asked, we listened: This isn't the HelloFresh you remember. Bigger menu. Upgraded recipes. Increased portion sizes. More variety. The best way to cook dinner just got BETTER.** These bowls are inspired by satay, the Southeast Asian street food dish of skewered grilled meat—in this case, chicken—often served with a savory, subtly spicy peanut sauce. After grilling, you’ll plate the charred-to-perfection chicken over a bed of rice (perfect for soaking up any extra sauce!) along with a refreshing cucumber-tomato salad.

Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. (If using a grill pan, you’ll heat it in Step 5.) Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Slice cucumbers into 1⁄4-inch-thick rounds. Halve tomatoes. Quarter lime. Roughly chop peanuts. Roughly chop cilantro. • Place skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water to soak (this helps prevent the skewers from burning!).
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar and 3⁄4 tsp sugar(1 1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings). Tightly cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 20-30 seconds; stir to dissolve sugar. • Add shallot, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil to bowl with vinegar mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.
• In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter(be sure to massage peanut butter packages), chili sauce, Sriracha, 3 TBSP water, 1 TBSP soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, and juice from half the lime (6 TBSP water, 2 TBSP soy sauce, and 4 tsp sugar for 4 servings). Taste and season with salt if desired. • Transfer 3 TBSP peanut sauce to a separate small bowl and reserve for brushing chicken (set aside remaining sauce until ready to serve).
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut each cutlet into four equal-size strips. Season all over with salt and pepper. Thread chicken onto skewers. (If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat now.) • Brush reserved peanut sauce onto chicken. • Add chicken skewers to hot grill (or grill pan) and grill until cooked through, 2-4 minutes per side (you may need to work in batches). TIP: If chicken is sticking to grill when you try to flip, simply continue to cook; chicken will release from grill when it’s nicely charred.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice and cucumber salad between shallow bowls in separate sections. Top rice with chicken skewers; drizzle remaining peanut sauce over chicken and rice. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
