Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 1 pound | chicken breast |
| 1/2 cup | peanut butter |
| 1/2 cup | unsweetened whole coconut milk |
| 1 tablespoon | + 1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lime juice |
| 1 tablespoon | rice wine vinegar |
| 1 tablespoon | honey |
| 3 cloves | garlic |
| 1/2 | fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded and stem removed |
| 1/3 teaspoon | chili powder |
| 1/3 cup | unsweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted (note: coconut can burn quickly and needs to be stirred/checked frequently while toasting…we do ours in the toaster oven for no more than 2 or 3 minutes) |
| also need: skewers and foil lined baking sheet |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven broiler on high.
2. Soak skewers in water if you don’t want them to cook/burn in the oven.
3. Cut the chicken breasts into strips and thread them onto about a dozen skewers. Place the prepared skewers on a parchment paper or foil-lined baking sheet and set aside (you can stick them in the fridge if you’d like).
4. In a food processor or blender puree the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, jalapeno, and chili powder together. Remove ¼ cup of the peanut mixture and drizzle/brush it over the raw chicken skewers.
5. Place chicken under the broiler to cook. After 4 – 5 minutes take the baking sheet out, turn the skewers over, drizzle another ¼ cup peanut sauce on top, and cook for 4 or 5 more minutes or until cooked all the way through.
6. Once the chicken is done take it out, drizzle on the remaining peanut sauce (or serve it as extra dipping sauce on the side), and sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
