Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Coconut sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 stalk Lemongrass, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 8 skewers Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, ideally around 1-inch cubes, for even cooking and skewer threading.
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, coconut sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, finely chopped lemongrass, turmeric powder, and fresh lime juice.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on the stove.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Brush the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.
Cook the skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken sate with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes, such as a fresh cucumber salad or a bed of cauliflower rice.
