Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup peanut butter
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®)
2 tablespoons crushed dried mint
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
6 green onions, white parts only, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk coconut milk, peanut butter, rice vinegar, lime juice, sriracha sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, mint, garlic, curry powder, brown sugar, ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder together in a large bowl to make marinade.
  • Place chicken in a separate bowl. Pour in enough marinade to thoroughly coat the chicken. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Thread chicken onto bamboo skewers, alternating with green onions. Lay skewers a few inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, flipping skewers halfway through baking, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve remaining marinade alongside.

The peanut sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would thin out the peanut sauce a bit.
