Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup water
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, piercing the meat lengthwise.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter and water. Heat over low heat, stirring until smooth and well combined. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if necessary.
Once the chicken satay skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the Paleo Chicken Satay skewers with the warm almond butter sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
