Almost every “get healthy” and “weight loss” posting you read will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is actually excellent advice. But sometimes the last thing you wish to do is prepare a whole meal for yourself and your family. Sometimes almost all you desperately want is to go to the drive through and get home as quickly as possible. There is no reason you shouldn’t be able to do this once in a while and be free of the guilt usually associated with “diet slips”. You are able to do this because most of the popular joints are now marketing “healthy” menu options to keep their businesses up. Here’s how you’ll be able to eat healthfully when you are at a fast food restaurant.
Select water, juice or maybe milk as a drink. Drinking a large soda allows hundreds of empty unhealthy calories into your diet. One portion of soda is eight ounces. That portion typically includes a minimum of a hundred calories and more than a few tablespoons of sugar. A fast food soda is almost always not less than twenty ounces. Usually, though, they’re 30 ounces. This means that your drink on it’s own will put a multitude of ounces of sugar into your body as well as several thousand empty calories. Milk, fruit juices and also plain water are much healthier choices.
Common logic tells us that one sure way to get healthy and lose weight is to skip the drive through and to banish fast food restaurants from your thoughts. While this is usually a good idea all you need to do is make a number of good choices and going to the drive through isn’t anything to worry about–when you do it in moderation. Sometimes the thing you need is to let other people make your dinner. There isn’t any reason to feel bad about visiting the drive through when you make healthful decisions!
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to coconut curry chicken satay recipe. To cook coconut curry chicken satay you need 12 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
The ingredients needed to prepare Coconut Curry Chicken Satay:
- You need 40 skewers soaked ideally overnight, but at least 6 hours or so
- Prepare 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh meat cut into roughly 1/3-inch thick, 1.5-inch wide strips
- You need 1-1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- Prepare 1/3 cup coconut milk
- Take 1/4 cup minced shallots
- You need 3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
- Prepare 2 Tablespoons fish sauce
- Prepare 2 Tablespoons oil
- Take zest of 1 lime
- Take 1.5-2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Get 1 Tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
- You need 1/2 Tablespoon curry powder
Instructions to make Coconut Curry Chicken Satay:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips with the salt first and give them a good thorough mixing with your hands to ensure that the chicken is evenly seasoned with the salt. Let that sit for about 5 minutes while add the other ingredients into the bowl.
- Combine the rest of the marinade ingredients with the salted chicken and again, using your hands, massage the ingredients gently and thoroughly into the chicken, making sure that all the components are evenly distributed throughout the chicken.
- Cover the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 8. (What will happen if you marinate it longer? Well, it won't be terrible, but the longer proteins sit in a salty mixture, the more cured a texture they begin to take on. You can actually let this marinade go for 2 or 3 days before you cook the chicken, but I think up to 8 hours for chicken breast keeps optimal texture. Up to overnight for dark meat.)
- Skewer the chicken in roughly 6-inch segments. This may take combining 2 or more pieces together. No biggie. Also, if you're planning to cook the chicken over coals right after you skewer, right before Step 4 would be a good time to light your coals.
- Grill the skewers over slightly lower than medium heat. 3 to 4.5 minutes per side for breast meat, 5.5 to 7 minutes per side for dark meat.
- GRILLING TIPS: If you're grilling on a gas grill, you just need to preheat your grill to a just under medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes prior to cooking. If you're grilling with coals, since you're dealing with smaller, thinner skewer cuts, you'll want to make sure to give your coals plenty of time for the flames to burn out and then a little time for the white heat to dissipate just a bit before you start cooking.
- GRILLING TIPS (cont): You'll be able to tell when some of the coals have returned to something more like the original charcoal color. And then there's always the hand test (assuming an even spread of the coals) in which you hold your hand an inch or two above the grill grates and judge the temp by how long you can hold it there before you have to pull it away. For the slightly less than medium heat you want for these satay skewers, 4 to 5 seconds should do it.
- Enjoy! :)
