Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 100 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1-inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, remaining soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and coconut milk until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, folding the strips if necessary to fit the skewers.
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook to keep the chicken tender.
Serve the chicken skewers hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
