Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken breast
Marinade and Sauce Base:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 lime
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (as needed to thin the sauce)
Instructions
- Combine Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing container.
- Submerge chicken strips in the marinade, ensuring full coverage. Refrigerate for minimum 1 hour to infuse flavors.
- Heat grill to medium-high temperature around 375-400°F.
- Remove chicken from marinade, carefully threading strips onto pre-soaked wooden skewers.
- Place skewers on heated grill, cooking approximately 5-7 minutes per side until chicken achieves golden brown exterior and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While grilling, prepare complementary coconut peanut sauce by whisking peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, Thai red curry paste, and grated ginger.
- Gradually incorporate water to achieve smooth, drizzling consistency for sauce.
- Transfer grilled skewers to serving platter, accompanied by freshly prepared coconut peanut sauce on the side.
- Garnish with optional chopped cilantro or green onions for enhanced presentation and flavor profile.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for maximum flavor absorption, ideally overnight for deeper taste profiles.
- Choose skinless chicken breasts or thighs for tender, juicy results that absorb marinade beautifully.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning and potential fire hazards.
- Adjust spice levels by reducing or increasing Thai red curry paste according to personal heat tolerance.
