Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 60 milliliters coconut aminos
- 60 grams almond butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 60 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, almond butter, fresh lime juice, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked bamboo skewers, distributing the chicken evenly among the skewers.
Step 7
Brush the grill grate with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the satay chicken skewers warm, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
