Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, almond butter, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, honey, fish sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the sliced chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread marinated chicken strips onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free satay chicken!
