Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 0.33 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 0.25 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks, roughly 1.5-inch pieces, and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut dip. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, brown sugar, chili flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until smooth and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing evenly.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char. Internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Step 7

Arrange the cooked chicken skewers on a platter and serve with the warm peanut dip on the side.
