Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, fish sauce, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, and minced ginger. Mix well to make the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, erythritol sweetener, and red pepper flakes. Stir until smooth and heated through. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the bamboo skewers in a zigzag fashion.
Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve the chicken satay hot, with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
