Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup coconut milk
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1.5 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.75 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
  • 0.75 cup chicken stock
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt to taste

Method
 

  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.
