Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 3 quarters of a cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons Red curry paste
Instructions
Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a bowl, mix together 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to create a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the satay sauce by combining 1 cup of peanut butter, 3/4 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, and 2 teaspoons of red curry paste in a small saucepan.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char on the outside.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with the satay sauce on the side for dipping.
