Ingredients
For the marinade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Use low-sodium for less salt.)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (Smooth peanut butter blends easily.)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (Start with one tablespoon and taste before serving.)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (Light brown sugar dissolves quickly.)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (Fresh lime juice is best.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (Mince finely for even flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (Adjust to taste.)
For grilling
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips (Cut strips about 1/2 inch thick.)
- Skewers (wooden or metal) (Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using.)
- Peanut sauce for serving (Prepare extra for dipping.)
Instructions
Marinating
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, peanut butter, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, and curry powder to make the marinade.
- Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
- Serve hot with peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. For reheating, warm in an oven or skillet, avoiding the microwave to prevent drying out.
