Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
• 0.5 cups Coconut milk
• 0.25 cups Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Almond butter
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 thumb-sized piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Lemongrass stalks
• 0.25 cups Cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, coconut aminos, almond butter, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, minced lemongrass, and finely chopped cilantro leaves. Whisk until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the chicken strips into a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.

Step 6

Grease the grill with a little oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Step 7

Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro leaves if desired.
