Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, cumin, coriander, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Peanut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Add water to achieve desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Cucumber Salad

    In a bowl, mix sliced cucumber and red onion. In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the cucumber mixture and toss gently.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Skewer and Grill

    Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
