Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk, full-fat
- 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, coconut milk, fish sauce, turmeric, coriander, cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and half of the chopped cilantro.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with olive oil.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the chicken skewers for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the skewers with the remaining chopped cilantro before serving.
