Method
Preparing the Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and lime juice. Stir until well mixed. Cut chicken breasts into strips and add them to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight to enhance flavor.
Soak the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Grilling the Chicken
Preparing the Peanut Sauce
Make the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and water. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Add red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
