Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
Zest of one lime
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
2½ - 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (13-oz) can coconut milk (do not use low fat)
¼ cup peanut butter
⅓ cup dark brown sugar, packed
1½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red curry paste
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2 limes
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Steps:

Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Cut the breasts into 1½" pieces and set aside.
Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make the sauce by whisking together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
Preheat the grill to high heat. Meanwhile, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers with the Coconut-Peanut Sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

Provided by Fresh Off The Grid

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 small red onion
1 red pepper
2 teaspoons neutral oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce ((or tamari for GF))
1 lime (juiced (about 1 ½ tablespoons))
2 teaspoons red curry paste
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons soy sauce ((or tamari for GF))
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili garlic paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

Stir together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or resealable container and pour in the marinade, making sure the chicken is completely coated. Chicken should marinate at least an hour and up to 48 hours. If prepping the veggies ahead of time, cut into 1-inch pieces and pack them in a second bag or container. Pack chicken & veggies in your cooler.
In a separate container, mix together all the ingredients for the peanut dipping sauce. Seal and pack in your cooler.
Fire up your grill or get your campfire going. You'll be cooking the skewers over medium-high to high heat.
Build your skewers: chicken on their own skewers, and the onions & peppers together. Brush the veggie skewers with oil, and season the chicken skewers with salt.
Once the grill has reached a medium-high heat, place all the skewers on the grate. Grill, turning often, until the chicken has cooked through (about 10 minutes), and the vegetables are tender (7-10 minutes).
Serve with the peanut sauce & enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
24 wooden skewers
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom

1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons red curry paste

Steps:

Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Prepare the marinade: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage the meat with your hands for 1 minute to coat the cubes well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
(Soak the 24 wooden skewers in ice-cold water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning, set aside.).
Prepare the peanut coconut sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spray a grill rack with nonstick cooking spray and set the heat to high or use a grill pan. Thread 6 to 8 chicken cubes onto each skewer. When the grill is ready, cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning the skewers over halfway through. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the peanut coconut sauce alongside the chicken skewers.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help it to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the grill and will give it a nice charred flavor.
Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade while it is grilling: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular choices include peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or hoisin sauce.

Conclusion:

These Thai marinated grilled chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the marinade gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
