Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon lemongrass paste
- 100 grams peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 50 ml water
- 2 tablespoons peanuts
- 12 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
1. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
2. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide, and place them into a mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and lemongrass paste.
4. Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and stir to ensure they're well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
5. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, lime juice, fish sauce, sriracha, and water.
6. Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring continually, until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
8. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
9. Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred.
10. While the chicken is grilling, roughly chop the peanuts for garnish.
11. Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with a side of peanut dipping sauce, sprinkled with the chopped peanuts for added texture.
