Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 stalk Lemongrass, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Palm sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 12 pieces Skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, chopped lemongrass, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, palm sugar, lime juice, and coconut milk to form the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
Step 4
Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Grill the skewers on each side for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Step 8
Meanwhile, to make the peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, low-sodium chicken broth, and a little black pepper in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and heated through.
Step 9
Serve the chicken sate hot off the grill with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
