Chicken Skewers

Peanut Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chicken Skewers

  1. 1

    Cut the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch).

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, coconut milk, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.

Making the Peanut Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and Sriracha (if using).

  2. 6

    Cook the Sauce

    Stir the mixture continuously until smooth and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as necessary.

  3. 7

    Remove from Heat

    Once the sauce is well combined and warm, remove it from heat and set aside.

Grilling the Chicken Skewers

  1. 8

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
