Chicken Skewers
Peanut Sauce
Method
Chicken Skewers
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and vegetable oil. Add the chicken cubes and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Soak Skewers
While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Skewer the Chicken
After marinating, thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Peanut Sauce
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili paste.
Cook the Sauce
Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add water as needed to reach desired consistency.
Serve
Remove the peanut sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving alongside the grilled chicken skewers.
