Chicken Skewers

Peanut Sauce

Method

Chicken Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches in size.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and mix well to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Peanut Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili flakes until smooth and creamy.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add a little more coconut milk until the desired consistency is reached.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the peanut sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chili flakes if desired.
