Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (Keto-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 1 tablespoon Swerve sweetener or erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced diagonally
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, curry powder, ground coriander, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, dividing equally among them.
Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by combining the peanut butter, lime juice, Swerve sweetener, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water at a time if needed for desired consistency.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, drizzled with the prepared peanut sauce.
Garnish with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro before serving.
