Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breast
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup water
• 12 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, piercing the meat lengthwise.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter and water. Heat over low heat, stirring until smooth and well combined. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if necessary.

Step 9

Once the chicken satay skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo Chicken Satay skewers with the warm almond butter sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
