Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch strips)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
1/2 tablespoon fish sauce (or additional 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 small, juicy limes)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
2 teaspoons fish sauce (or additional 2 teaspoons soy sauce)
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 small lime)
Chopped fresh cilantro (chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, and lime wedges, for serving)

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients, except for the chicken: soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let cook, stirring often, until the sauce is smooth and has thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and set aside.
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high. Then thread the chicken onto skewers.
Grill chicken until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro, then serve warm with peanut sauce and lime wedges.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Chicken Skewers With Peanut Sauce image

That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
1 tablespoon curry paste or curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh or canned coconut milk, approximately
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges

Steps:

Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
Put peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add curry paste or powder, salt and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy but quite thick consistency. Cook over low heat, whisking, until smooth; do not boil. Cool a bit, then stir in nam pla and lime juice.
Marinate chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes to an hour. Skewer chicken chunks, then grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and accompanied by lime.
