Ingredients
Scale
- 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 freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup creamy natural 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 thinner consistency)
- Crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together tamari, avocado oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, onion powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Skewer the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers.
- Grill the skewers for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the creamy peanut sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, erythritol, onion powder, and coconut cream. Mix until smooth, adjusting the thickness with additional coconut cream or water if necessary. Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
- Once the chicken is done, serve the skewers hot alongside the creamy peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
- Ensure the grill is hot enough to get a good char on the chicken.
