Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 120 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 150 grams Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 Lime (juice only)
- 8 Skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes if wooden)
- 60 ml Water (adjust for peanut sauce consistency)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for grilling)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips about 2 cm wide, perfect for skewering.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha (if using), lime juice, and water. Stir continuously until the sauce is smooth. Add more water to adjust the consistency as desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with a generous side of peanut sauce for dipping. Optionally, garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
