Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 60 ml Coconut amino
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 120 ml Coconut milk
- 100 grams Peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Stevia (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 60 ml Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
- 8 pieces Skewers
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into long strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine coconut amino, lime juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce substitute. In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, stevia sweetener, chicken broth, and chili flakes. Stir over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt or additional chili flakes if desired. Set aside.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers.
Cook the chicken skewers on the grill or pan for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Remove skewers from heat and allow to rest briefly.
Serve the skewers hot, drizzling or dipping with the prepared sauce. Enjoy your low carb satay chicken skewers!
