Main Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 tablespoon curry powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger for marinade
  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter

Preparation Steps

  • Marinate the chicken. Whisk together the coconut milk, salt, curry powder, turmeric, ground ginger (for marinade), Thai red curry paste, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Make the sauce. While the chicken is marinating, make the sauce by combining the peanut butter, water, red chili paste, soy sauce, honey, and ground ginger (for peanut sauce) in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Preheat. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Assemble the skewers. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers. The chicken pieces should be pressed together.
  • Grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  • Rest. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve. Serve the chicken skewers hot with peanut dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Serve immediately with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor.
