Ingredients

  • •500 g Chicken breast
  • •120 ml Coconut milk
  • •1 teaspoon Salt
  • •2 tbsp Curry powder
  • •0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • •120 ml Peanut sauce
  • •2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • •3 cloves Garlic
  • •1 medium Onion
  • •1 cup Chicken broth
  • •2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice chicken thighs into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures quick, even cooking.

  2. 2

    Make marinade: combine coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, garlic, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Toss chicken to coat.

  3. 3

    Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

  4. 4

    Thread chicken onto soaked wooden skewers, weaving the meat back and forth for stability.

  5. 5

    Grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Make peanut sauce: simmer coconut milk with peanut butter, lime juice, and sambal oelek.

  7. 7

    Serve skewers with peanut sauce, cucumber relish, and steamed jasmine rice.

    💡 Soaking skewers prevents burning and makes turning easier on the grill.
