  1. Put the peanut butter in a bowl and slowly mix in the soy sauce until smooth. Cut each chicken fillet into thin strips lengthways, add them to the peanut mixture and coat well all over. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.
  2. When ready to use, thread each chicken strip onto a soaked skewer and barbecue or grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Know-how

You'll need wooden skewers for this, soak them for a good 30 minutes before using them or they'll burn.

    I have tried this recipe but i have also added some thai dipping sauce to the peanut butter to give it a bit of a tangy kick, i have also chopped up the chicken more finely and stri fried as well as used on skewers for BBQs both work just as well. Quick & easy.

    I found this dish was really tastey and easy to make. I had this with home made low fat oven baked chunky chips and it was a match in heaven with a little extra satay sauce for the chips. I will be making this again sometime

    These are so yummy! I made them as a starter on valentines day and my partner who hates peanut butter loved them! (I only used 3 tbsps of peanut butter to ensure they wouldn't be too peanut-y). Can't wait for bbq season - these will be a big hit! And so easy to make!

    This was excellent and so simple! We did add a little honey to the marinade. We had barbequed the kebabs and served them with Sainsbury chard mixed salad, fresh beetroot, new potatoes and creamy coleslaw. Looked and tasted good. A big success.

    Really easy and tasty. I used crunchy peanut butter and dark soy, i added a little water to thin the marinade. Was not too salty, i think it depends on the paenut butter you use.
