Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 60 ml Coconut aminos
- 60 ml Coconut milk
- 2 pieces Lemongrass stalks, finely minced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, coconut milk, minced lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric powder, chili powder, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Step 6
Grill the chicken satay skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the chicken sate hot, garnished with an extra squeeze of lime juice if desired.
