Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Step 2

Soak your skewers in cold water (this will prevent them from burning).

Step 3

Zest and halve the lime.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together half the Indonesian style spice mix, a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Cut the chicken breasts into 3cm chunks, then pop the chicken into the marinade and mix to coat.

Step 6

Thread the chicken onto the skewers (2 per person).

Step 7

Lay the skewers onto a lined baking tray and bake on the top shelf of your oven until cooked, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Step 8

Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 9

Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Step 10

Leave the rice to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Step 11

While everything cooks, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

Step 12

Add the remaining lime juice and sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount) to another large bowl, then season with salt and mix together.

Step 13

Toss the carrot ribbons and half the peanuts into the dressing, then set aside.

Step 14

Pop the peanut butter, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder), ketjap manis, sugar for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and remaining Indonesian style spice mix into a small saucepan.

Step 15

Whisk together, then add the coconut milk. Stir to combine, then pop on medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2-4 mins, then remove from the heat.

Step 16

Add a squeeze of lime juice, then stir again. Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if needed.

Step 17

When everything's ready, fluff up the rice with a fork, then stir through the lime zest and share between your bowls.

Step 18

Serve up your ultimate chicken satay skewers on top of the zesty rice with the pickled carrot ribbons piled alongside.

Step 19

Drizzle the satay sauce over the chicken and rice, then finish with a scattering of the remaining peanuts.

Step 20

Enjoy!
