Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin, lime juice, honey, and salt.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, coconut aminos, hot water, rice vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more hot water if necessary.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve the chicken satay warm, with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side.
