Thai Marinated Grilled Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness between two pieces of parchment or wax paper, then cut into 1.5-inch chunks.

2. 2

   Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.

3. 3

   Make the peanut sauce: whisk the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and curry paste together in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice.

4. 4

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.

5. 5

   Preheat the grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the skewers about 5 minutes per side (or up to 10 minutes total, turning once), until cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve warm with the peanut sauce and lime wedges.
