Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup unsalted natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup light coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in a shallow dish of water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, coriander powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, and olive oil. Mix until smooth to form the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, dividing the meat evenly among them.
Place skewers on the grill, cooking for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, flipping halfway through cooking for even grilling.
Once cooked, remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of fresh vegetables or a simple salad. Enjoy your Low Sodium Satay Chicken Skewers with joy in health!
