- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 120 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)

- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar (for dipping sauce)

Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, coconut milk, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and ground turmeric to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by mixing peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, coconut milk, brown sugar, and chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Adjust consistency with additional coconut milk if needed.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve the chicken skewers warm with the prepared peanut dipping sauce on the side.
