Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 Lime
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 3 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 10 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, coconut milk, the juice of one lime, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, peanut butter, chili powder, olive oil, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

Step 8

Serve the satay chicken hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a side of gluten-free peanut sauce for dipping.
