Ingredients
Marinade & chicken
¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp curry powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp coconut aminos (TRY: Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos)
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp raw honey
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1½ lb chicken breast tenders, cut into strips
Peanut sauce
½ cup smooth, unsweetened peanut butter
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
3 tbsp coconut aminos
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
½ to ¾ tsp hot sauce
Equipment
12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Preparation
1. Marinate chicken: To a blender add coconut milk, coconut oil, ginger, curry powder, garlic, fish sauce, coconut aminos, salt, honey and pepper; blend until smooth. In a casserole dish, pat chicken dry. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight.
2. Prepare peanut sauce: To a blender, add all sauce ingredients; blend until smooth. Cover and set aside.
3. Thread chicken onto skewers (marinade will be thick; remove most of it from chicken and discard excess). Preheat an indoor grill or grill pan to medium. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with peanut sauce.
