Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried ginger
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener like erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (or water for a lighter sauce)
- Chili flakes to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together tamari, avocado oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, onion powder, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken strips and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Prepare the Grill: Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning if using them.
- Skewer and Grill the Chicken: Thread marinated chicken strips onto skewers. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through with a nice char.
- Make the Peanut Sauce: While chicken cooks, combine peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, erythritol, onion powder, and coconut cream in a bowl. Mix until smooth, adjusting with more coconut cream or water as needed. Add chili flakes optionally for heat.
- Serve: Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot alongside the creamy peanut dipping sauce.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Marinating longer enhances the depth of flavor in the chicken.
- Adjust peanut sauce thickness by adding more coconut cream or water.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute coconut cream with water.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
