Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, curry powder, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
-
Transfer half of the sauce to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. This will be your dipping sauce.
-
Reserve the remaining sauce in the bowl to use as a marinade. Add the chicken breast strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
-
While the chicken marinates, soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat the oven broiler.
-
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers in a serpentine fashion, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
-
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally and basting with any remaining marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
-
Remove the skewers from the grill. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and a sprinkle of lime zest.
-
Serve the hot chicken skewers immediately with the cooled peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
