Ingredients

• 0.5 Cup coconut milk
• 1 Clove of garlic, minced
• 1.5 Teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 Teaspoon curry powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.75 Pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
• 10 6 Inch wooden skewers, soaked
• 1 Cup coconut milk
• 0.75 Cup chicken stock
• 0.5 Cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 Cup brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon curry powder
• 2 Tablespoons lime juice
• 1 Teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together coconut milk, garlic, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Skewer the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers. Discard the remaining marinade.
4. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together coconut milk, chicken stock, peanut butter, brown sugar, and curry powder until simmering. Reduce the heat and continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, soy sauce, and salt.
5. Grill the Chicken: While the sauce is simmering, grill the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Ensure an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
6. Serve: Serve the grilled chicken skewers with the warm peanut sauce on the side. Enjoy your flavorful Thai-inspired meal!
