  • 1 ½ teaspoons Turmeric
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar

How to Store the High-Protein Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

To store, remove the chicken from the leftovers skewers, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Store the peanut sauce in a separate container, covered, for up to 10 days in the fridge.

To reheat, place chicken pieces on a small baking sheet and reheat it in 350ºF oven until just warmed through about 12 minutes. Reheat the peanut sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, adding a few tablespoons of water to thin it out. Remove from heat when warm through.
