Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 8 pieces Skewers
- 3 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk (light)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Place the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce by combining natural peanut butter, light coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, honey, and water in a small saucepan.
Heat the peanut sauce mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Skewer the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked or metal skewers, threading them lengthwise.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, with the prepared low-fat peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
