Method
Preparing the Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, ground coriander, ground cumin, minced garlic, brown sugar, vegetable oil, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. Cut the chicken breasts into strips or cubes and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. This will help the skewers hold up during the cooking process.
Making the Peanut Sauce

Combine Sauce Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and water until smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed, and set aside.
