Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 8 pieces Skewers
• 3 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk (light)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce by combining natural peanut butter, light coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, honey, and water in a small saucepan.

Step 5

Heat the peanut sauce mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Skewer the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked or metal skewers, threading them lengthwise.

Step 8

Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 10

Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot, with the prepared low-fat peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
