  • 1 pound Chicken breast
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons Almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips.

In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, almond butter, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, honey, fish sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Thread marinated chicken strips onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
