Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.33 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (for grilling)
- 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (for garnishing)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, coconut milk, red pepper flakes, and salt until you have a smooth marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grilling surface with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the kabobs.
