Ingredients

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1 lime, zested
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 13 ounce coconut milk
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon red curry paste
• 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper. Cut the chicken into 1 ½-inch pieces, and set aside.
2. Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom, and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to high. Thread the chicken pieces on to skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the gill and cook for 10 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Serve with the coconut-peanut sauce
5. Whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, stir through the lime juice, and set aside.
