Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix coconut milk, peanut butter, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Add cubed chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
  2. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water while the chicken marinates to prevent burning.
  3. Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  4. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (350°F/175°C). Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until cooked through and charred.
  5. Make Peanut Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm leftover marinade with additional peanut butter until slightly thickened.
  6. Serve: Plate skewers with peanut sauce and enjoy!

Keywords: For added spice, incorporate red pepper flakes or chili paste into the marinade. Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different twist. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
