Description
A recipe for making flavorful grilled chicken skewers served with peanut sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with coconut milk, soy sauce, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and salt. Mix well to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, lime juice, and water. Stir until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
- Serve the cooked chicken skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
- If you do not have wooden skewers, you can use metal ones, but do not soak them.
- For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the peanut sauce mixture.
- You can bake the skewers at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes if you prefer not to grill.
