Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin, lime juice, honey, and salt.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the almond butter dipping sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, coconut aminos, hot water, rice vinegar, and brown sugar until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more hot water if necessary.

Step 5

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.

Step 7

Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Serve the chicken satay warm, with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side.
