Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers
• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 3 quarters of a cup Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons Red curry paste

Directions

Step 1

Soak 10 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the satay sauce by combining 1 cup of peanut butter, 3/4 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, and 2 teaspoons of red curry paste in a small saucepan.

Step 6

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

Step 9

Grill the chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char on the outside.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with the satay sauce on the side for dipping.
