Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 100 ml Unsweetened coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Stevia sweetener
- 12 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or olive oil
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch each, and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, natural peanut butter, soy sauce, ground coriander, cumin powder, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, salt, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and stevia sweetener. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces in the mixing bowl. Toss the chicken to ensure each piece is fully coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour for best flavor penetration.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with coconut oil or olive oil.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has nice grill marks.
Remove the chicken sate from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges and a side of fresh salad for a complete low-carb meal.
