Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chunky peanut butter (sugar-free)
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon sweetener (erythritol or stevia)
• 8 pieces bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, coating evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 5

Prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce or tamari, and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, weaving back and forth.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.

Step 9

Serve the chicken skewers hot with the prepared peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
