Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 8 Skewers
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Chopped peanuts
- 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, tossing to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
To make the peanut dipping sauce, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, and lime juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, whisking constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, leaving space on one end of each skewer for handling.
Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the chicken on a stick hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
