Sesame chicken skewers with peanut sauce and rice

Peanut sauce is a real classic in Asian cuisine. No wonder, because it also tastes incredibly good with meat and rice. In this post I’ll show you my simple and easy variant of a peanut sauce with fresh sesame chicken skewers and boiled rice.

Peanut sauce, sesame chicken skewers and rice – that sounds just delicious and harmonious, doesn’t it? The creamy peanut sauce, tender chicken skewers and rice make this a satisfying meal. But now to the recipe. You need the following ingredients for two servings:

• 400g chicken fillet
• 100g rice (variety of choice)
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 3 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp yogurt
• 1 dash of lemon juice
• 100ml water
• 5g butter
• Salt pepper

First you cut the chicken fillets into fine bite-sized pieces. Then you boil the rice in salted water while frying the meat in a pan with a little butter so that it is still tender and juicy. To do this, I recommend searing them in the pan at a high temperature at the beginning and then allowing them to steep at a low temperature. Season with salt and pepper. The butter will make the meat particularly aromatic and the sesame will stick to the meat afterwards.

While the meat is cooking on a low setting, you take care of the peanut sauce: Simply mix peanut butter with yogurt, water and lemon juice in a saucepan and heat carefully. Then you take the meat out of the pan, skewer it and turn it in sesame seeds. All the ingredients are ready and you can prepare your dishes. Bon Appetit!

PS If you like, you can decorate the chicken skewers with a little coriander or parsley.
