Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut aminos, juice of half a lime, grated ginger, minced garlic, curry powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight for the best flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Step 6
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Step 7
Grill the chicken skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Step 8
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the almond butter sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, hot water, red pepper flakes, and the juice of the remaining half lime until smooth. Adjust the flavor with more lime juice or coconut aminos if desired.
Step 9
Serve the chicken skewers hot with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
