Summer Bean Salad
You’ll Need
- 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 12 8" bamboo/metal skewers
- Whole wheat wraps
- 1 ½ tsp vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp curry paste
- ½ can coconut milk (not low fat)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup unsalted peanuts or all-natural crunchy peanut butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prep and Cook
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least one hour ahead of time (this keeps them from burning on the grill).
- Cut chicken into 4” strips and place in a bowl.
- Mix with the olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper. Combine all ingredients and refrigerate (covered) for at least an hour but best if left overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Thread chicken strips onto skewers.
- Place skewers on greased grill, close lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn skewers and cook another 4–5 minutes or until the chicken strips are lightly browned.
- Once cool, place chicken skewers in a rectangular shaped container or large plastic bag.
- Serve skewers alone with dip or make into an easy to eat wrap.
- Place chicken skewer in middle of wrap and top with your favourite sauce.
- Pull the bamboo sticks out from the middle and wrap tightly.
- In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until just golden. Add curry paste and continue stirring for 2 minutes. Add coconut milk and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and peanut butter. Continue cooking, stirring, until sauce is combined and thick.
- Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and let cool.
