Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 lime
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 orange

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    While chicken marinates, make the sauce: in a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 minced garlic clove, and juice of 1 lime. Add 1/4 cup water and whisk over medium heat until smooth and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, about 4-5 pieces per skewer. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).

  5. 5

    Slice the orange into wedges and halve the tomatoes. Serve the hot skewers with the peanut sauce on the side, garnished with orange wedges and tomatoes.
