Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 medium Lime
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 3 tablespoons Coconut milk (light)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
• 10 pieces Skewers

Directions

Step 1

Place the wooden skewers in a bowl of water and soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small, even strips, about 1/2 inch thick, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, water, coconut milk, and honey over medium-low heat.

Step 6

Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, distributing the chicken evenly across all skewers.

Step 9

Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 10

Serve the chicken sate with the peanut sauce on the side, garnished with fresh chopped coriander.
