Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 pieces skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, dividing evenly.
Grill the skewers for 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, gluten-free hoisin sauce, warm water, and sriracha (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the cooked chicken skewers to a serving platter.
Drizzle or serve the peanut sauce on the side with the chicken skewers.
Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
