Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chunky peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (erythritol or stevia)
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, coating evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
While the chicken is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce or tamari, and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, weaving back and forth.
Grill the skewers for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
Serve the chicken skewers hot with the prepared peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
