Description
Delicious chicken skewers marinated in a rich peanut sauce, perfect for grilling and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into 1–2 inch pieces)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1-inch piece ginger (grated)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by cutting it into manageable, bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high. Cook skewers for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve with reserved peanut sauce for dipping and garnish with chopped cilantro or crushed peanuts.
Notes
Ensure the grill is preheated for the best char, and let skewers rest after cooking to retain juiciness.
