Indulge in a bit of Indonesian-style dining at home during the week with this delicious dish that is ready in a flash.
- Use a large sharp knife to cut through each chicken breast crossways. Cut lengthways into thirds and place in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
- Combine the lemongrass, ginger, soy sauce, coriander, cumin and turmeric and 2 teaspoons of the palm sugar in a small bowl. Add half the paste to the chicken; toss to coat and set aside for 15 minutes to develop the flavours.
- Meanwhile, place the remaining paste, peanuts and coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and is heated through. Add the lime juice, fish sauce and remaining sugar and stir to combine. Taste and season further with extra lime juice, fish sauce or sugar, if desired.
- Heat a barbecue or char-grill pan on medium. Thread the chicken evenly among pre-soaked skewers. Cook on preheated grill for 2 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Combine the cucumber, radish, mint and coriander in a medium bowl. Divide evenly among serving plates. Place the chicken skewers on plates and drizzle with peanut sauce. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice, if desired.
