Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 12 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning while cooking.

Step 2

Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, and ground turmeric to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for better flavor).

Step 5

While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, chicken broth, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and warm through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, dividing them equally among the skewers.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Serve the chicken sate warm with the prepared peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro if desired.
