Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chicken breast

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 limes zest and juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 7 ounces coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 lime juice only

Garnish

  • cilantro torn or chopped

Instructions

Marinade

  • Mix all the ingredients of the marinade in a bowl or sealable bag.
  • Cut the chicken breast in cubes, all about the same size.
  • Transfer the chicken to the marinade. Cover bowl or close bag and place in the refrigerator for min. 2 hours, max. overnight.

Skewers

  • Thread the chicken onto the skewers (NOTE 1)
  • Discard the marinade.
  • Place the chicken skewers on a heated grill and cook for about 3 minutes each side at approx. 350 degrees F. Time may vary as it depends on the size of chicken cubes.

Peanut Sauce

  • Place all ingredients for the peanut sauce (except the lime juice) in a small saucepan and heat on medium low.
  • Stir regularly and allow to slowly simmer for a few minutes.
  • The sauce will thicken, but should be pourable. Add the lime juice. If sauce too thick, add a little bit of water.
  • Remove chicken skewers from the grill and place onto a platter.
  • Pour some of the sauce over the chicken and serve the rest in a bowl.
  • Garnish the chicken with cilantro (NOTE 2)

Notes

  1. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 2 hours.
  2. You can also sprinkle some chopped peanuts over the chicken.
