Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken Breasts
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
• 3 pieces Garlic Cloves
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 0.5 cup Sunflower Seed Butter
• 10 pieces Wooden Skewers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 3 inches long.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 5

For the nut-free satay sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar and sunflower seed butter until smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space at both ends of each skewer.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has beautiful grill marks.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately with the nut-free satay sauce on the side for dipping.

Step 10

Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired, then enjoy your delicious nut-free chicken satay skewers!
