Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 12 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, around 1-inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce by mixing almond butter, warm water, and honey in a bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve the chicken satay skewers hot with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side.
