Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned
  • 4 tbsp tamari sauce organic
  • 2 tbsp oil coconut oil, olive oil or any vegetable oil
  • 4 tbsp peanut butter heaped
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (or 2 tbsp maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp ginger grated

Instructions
 

Prepare and grill the chicken skewers

  • Preheat grill to medium heat.
  • Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and brush them with the oil and half of the tamari sauce.
  • Add the skewers to the grill turning occasionally until the chicken is completely cooked.

Prepare the peanut sauce

  • In a saucepan, whisk together the rest of the soy sauce, coconut milk, peanut butter and ginger. Finally add the brown sugar or syrup and and heat everything slightly until the sugar dissolves and a thick sauce is obtained.

Serve

  • Serve immediately with the peanut sauce.
  • Optionally serve with your choice of vegetables, rice or noodles. I love to eat this recipe with some sauteed broccoli.

Notes

Tips: 
  • Use a griddle, outdoor barbeques or indoor grills for cooking meat.
  • If opting for disposable bamboo skewers choose 10 and 12-inch skewers and soak them in water for 30 minutes before putting them on the grill.
