Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
• 10 (6 inch) wooden skewers, or as needed, soaked in water for 30 minutes
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers; discard remaining marinade.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

Serve skewers with warm peanut sauce.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.
