Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
- 125 grams Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Chili paste
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 120 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, gluten-free soy sauce, honey, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best flavor.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, to make the peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, chili paste, brown sugar, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and is smooth, approximately 5 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt to taste.
Serve the grilled chicken satay hot with the warm peanut dipping sauce on the side.
