- 30 milliliters soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (erythritol or stevia)

Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken, cut 500 grams of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine 100 milliliters of coconut milk, 30 milliliters of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces into the marinade, making sure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour for optimal flavor.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the satay sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 60 grams of peanut butter, 50 milliliters of remaining coconut milk, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon of sweetener. Stir until the mixture is smooth and heated through. Adjust seasoning as desired. Set aside.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 8
While grilling, slice a cucumber into thin rounds and finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro for garnish.
Step 9
Once the chicken is cooked, serve it immediately with the warm peanut satay sauce and cucumber slices. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness.
Step 10
Enjoy your flavorful low-carb chicken satay!
