For the Peanut Sauce

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut 1 pound of boneless chicken into thin strips, about 1-inch wide.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, and lime juice. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and coconut milk. Stir until smooth.
  5. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers with space in between for even cooking.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat at 375°F (190°C) or set oven to broil.
  7. Cook skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Allow skewers to rest, then serve with peanut sauce.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh cilantro leaves.
