Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are all well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, weaving the meat back and forth. Leave a little space at each end of the skewers for handling.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the soy-free chicken satay skewers warm with a side of your choice, such as rice, cucumber salad, or a nut-free dipping sauce.
