Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 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 breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are all well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for a deeper flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, weaving the meat back and forth. Leave a little space at each end of the skewers for handling.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Serve the soy-free chicken satay skewers warm with a side of your choice, such as rice, cucumber salad, or a nut-free dipping sauce.
