Ingredients
•
1/2 cup coconut milk
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon curry powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips
•
10 (6 inch) wooden skewers, or as needed, soaked in water for 30 minutes
•
1 cup coconut milk
•
3/4 cup chicken stock
•
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon curry powder
•
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon soy sauce
•
salt to taste
Directions
1
To make the marinade: Whisk coconut milk, garlic, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers; discard remaining marinade.
4
To make the peanut sauce: Whisk coconut milk, chicken stock, peanut butter, brown sugar, and curry powder together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice, soy sauce, and salt.
5
While the sauce is coming to a simmer, cook chicken skewers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6
Serve skewers with warm peanut sauce.
