Ingredients

CHICKEN & MARINADE:

  • 30 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast cut lengthwise into 1-inch strips
  • 8 ounces light coconut milk
  • 1 medium lime zest and juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 medium lime zest and juice
  • 1 medium garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste or curry powder
  • 1 medium shallot chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 8 to 10 wooden skewers soaked in water for 1 hour

Instructions

Prep the Chicken

  • Place the chicken in a large zip top bag and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, zest, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken and seal. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

Make the Sauce

  • In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the peanut butter, broth, soy sauce, honey, lime juice and zest, garlic, curry, shallot, chili paste and vinegar.
  • Blend to combine until smooth. Set aside.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat grill or grill pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer and set aside.
  • Place the chicken on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with the peanut sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • You can swap the chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different twist.
  • Thin the peanut sauce with warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
