Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breast
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.25 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 12 pieces bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, around 1-inch wide.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, lime juice, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce by mixing almond butter, warm water, and honey in a bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the chicken satay skewers hot with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side.
