Chicken Marinade

Peanut Sauce

For Serving

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into thin strips or cubes, about 1 inch in size.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, brown sugar, and olive oil. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Ensure all chicken pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Peanut Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili paste, and water. Stir until smooth and heated through. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Allow the peanut sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 7

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  3. 8

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce for dipping.

  2. 10

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish with sliced cucumber and chopped cilantro before serving.
