Qty	Ingredient
1.5 lbs 680 g	Chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
0.5 cup 120 ml	Full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp 5 g	Turmeric powder
1 tbsp 15 g	Mild curry powder
1 tbsp 15 ml	Fish sauce

1 tsp 5 ml	Soy sauce
1 tbsp 15 ml	Lime juice

2 Method

Step 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, turmeric, curry powder, fish sauce, and brown sugar to create the marinade.

Step 2. Add the chicken strips to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).

Step 3. While the chicken marinates, soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 4. To make the peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, red curry paste, a splash of coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and thickened, then set aside.

Step 5. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers in a zigzag pattern.

Step 6. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

Step 7. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 8. Serve the hot skewers immediately with the warm peanut sauce on the side.

·
Soak your bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to ensure they don't catch fire on the grill.
·
Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier, more tender result that is harder to overcook.
·
For a more authentic flavor, serve with a quick cucumber salad (Ajaad) consisting of vinegar, sugar, and sliced cucumbers.
·
If the peanut sauce is too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of warm water or coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
