Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds boneless and skinless chicken breast sliced into 1 ½ inch strips
Marinade:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ inch ginger root, finely chopped
Peanut Sauce:
- 8 ounces peanut butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 ounces onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl or a large resealable plastic bag combine the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, garlic, onions, red curry paste, fish sauce and coconut milk. Mix gently until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve until needed.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for 20 to 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Thread the chicken onto skewers.

- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the Peanut Sauce.
