I'll never forget the time I first experimented with satay—it was at a family BBQ, and I was desperate to jazz things up a bit. You know how it is, everyone brings the same old stuff, and the food table ends up looking like a beige convention? So, I thought, why not blend the creamy comfort of a parmesan crust with the exotic allure of peanut satay? Sounds kinda crazy, right? Well, it totally worked! My family went bonkers for it. And now, I'm sharing this, um, somewhat 'out there' concoction with you. Hope you feel the same!
This isn’t your average chicken on a stick. We’re talking tender chicken pieces marinated in a luscious peanut sauce, then coated in a crispy parmesan crust before being threaded onto skewers and grilled (or baked, if you prefer – no judgement here!). The result is a symphony of flavors and textures that’ll have your taste buds doing the tango. Serve them as an appetizer, a light meal, or even at your next party. Trust me, these satay skewers are not just food; they’re an experience. Don't be scared if you have some uh oh moments, we all go through it!
The secret to a good dipping sauce, in my opinion, is achieving that perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory. For these satay skewers, a slightly sweet and tangy dipping sauce cuts through the richness of the peanut and parmesan, creating a flavor explosion that's simply irresistible. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good dipping sauce? So, let's dive in and discover how to make these Peanut Chicken Parmesan Satay skewers that will not disappoint you, your family, or your guests!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl.
- For the peanut marinade, in a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Make sure it's well combined.
- Pour the peanut marinade over the chicken cubes and stir to ensure each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. (The longer, the better!).
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the parmesan crust. In a shallow dish, mix together the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Next, let's work on the dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the dipping sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Now, preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Dip each chicken skewer into the parmesan crust mixture, pressing gently to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. I usually do this twice for an extra layer of cheesiness!
- If grilling, place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the parmesan crust is golden brown. If baking, place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the parmesan crust is golden brown. Always double check!
- Remove the satay skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Drizzle the dipping sauce over the satay skewers, or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes to the dipping sauce.
- You can use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy parmesan crust.
