Method
 

How to Make Chicken Satay
  1. In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, ground coriander, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until it's well blended, creating a fragrant marinade.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts into strips and add them to the marinade. Toss gently to ensure every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, reaching approximately 400°F.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  6. While the chicken is grilling, prepare your peanut sauce by blending the peanut butter, honey, lime juice, and a splash of warm water until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve the grilled Chicken Satay on a platter, drizzled with your delectable peanut sauce. Add extra lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick!
