Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- Juice of 1 lime (about 3 tbsp)
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix coconut milk, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and lime juice. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Let marinate for at least one hour or overnight for more flavor.
- 2. Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 3. Thread Chicken: Once marinated, thread pieces of chicken onto skewers.
- 4. Grill: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and charred.
- 5. Make Peanut Sauce: While grilling, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and coconut milk until smooth.
- 6. Serve: Transfer grilled chicken satays to plates and drizzle with peanut sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side.
