Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1/2 cup coconut milk

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, brown sugar, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper.

2. Add chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken strips onto soaked wooden skewers.

4. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

5. For the peanut sauce, in a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, coconut milk, and red chili paste. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and heated through. Season with salt to taste.

6. Serve chicken skewers hot, garnished with chopped roasted peanuts and cilantro, with peanut sauce on the side.

Storage

Store leftover chicken skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Peanut sauce can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Reheating

Reheat chicken skewers in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Reheat peanut sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of coconut milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
