Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 10 units bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Stir until well blended to form the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy this sugar-free treat as an appetizer or a light main course.
