• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3  lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 24  wooden skewers

• Marinade

• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 3  tablespoons  firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 2  tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1  tablespoon curry powder
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1  teaspoon  finely minced fresh ginger
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cardamom

• Peanut Coconut Sauce

• 1 (13 1/2ounce) can coconut milk (not fat free or light)
• 1⁄4 cup peanut butter
• 1⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons red curry paste

Directions

1. Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Prepare the marinade: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage the meat with your hands for 1 minute to coat the cubes well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
2. (Soak the 24 wooden skewers in ice-cold water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning, set aside.).
3. Prepare the peanut coconut sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Spray a grill rack with nonstick cooking spray and set the heat to high or use a grill pan. Thread 6 to 8 chicken cubes onto each skewer. When the grill is ready, cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning the skewers over halfway through. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
5. Serve the peanut coconut sauce alongside the chicken skewers.
