Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 pieces Garlic Cloves
- 1 inch Fresh Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 0.5 cup Sunflower Seed Butter
- 10 pieces Wooden Skewers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 3 inches long.
In a large bowl, mix together coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
For the nut-free satay sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar and sunflower seed butter until smooth and well-combined.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space at both ends of each skewer.
Grill the skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has beautiful grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately with the nut-free satay sauce on the side for dipping.
Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired, then enjoy your delicious nut-free chicken satay skewers!
