Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (unsalted)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 8 units Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, low sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, turmeric, ground cumin, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Place the chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged and well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.

Step 7

Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately, making sure to include a dipping sauce of your choice, such as a low sodium peanut sauce, on the side.
