Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (Keto-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup Peanut butter (no sugar added)
• 1 tablespoon Swerve sweetener or erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, sliced diagonally
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, curry powder, ground coriander, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by combining the peanut butter, lime juice, Swerve sweetener, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water at a time if needed for desired consistency.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, drizzled with the prepared peanut sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and chopped cilantro before serving.
