Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 3 inches long, and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, ground coriander, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
While the chicken marinades, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, hot water, rice vinegar, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional hot water if needed. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure but not overly packed.
Grill the chicken satay kabobs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Serve the chicken satay kabobs warm with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Optionally, garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
