For the Chicken Marinade

  • 1 lb Boneless chicken thighs or breasts

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Begin by cutting the boneless chicken thighs or breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, and lime juice until well combined. Pour this marinade over the chicken.
  • If you're using bamboo skewers, soak them in a bowl of water for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and coconut milk over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through.
  • Retrieve the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers.
  • Prepare your grill by heating it to medium-high or preheating your oven to broil.
  • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, until done.
  • Once cooked, transfer the skewers from the grill to a platter and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped cilantro over the cooked skewers before serving.
