Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 whole lime
  • ½ head purple cabbage
  • 8 whole wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice 1.5 lb chicken breast into thin strips and thread onto the skewers.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup peanut butter, 0.75 cup coconut milk, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).

  4. 4

    While the chicken cooks, thinly shred 0.5 head of purple cabbage and place in a bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over it and toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve the hot skewers with the peanut sauce drizzled on top and the lime cabbage on the side. Add extra lime or chili flakes if you like.

  6. 6

    Enjoy immediately, with extra sauce for dipping if desired.
