Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons tamarind paste

  • 1 stalk lemon grass, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon muscovado sugar

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips

  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 2 teaspoons red Thai curry paste

Directions

  1. Place vegetable oil, soy sauce, tamarind paste, lemon grass, garlic, cumin, coriander, lime juice, muscovado sugar, and chili powder in a blender and process to a smooth paste. In a large bowl, or a large resealable plastic bag, toss chicken strips with marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, peanuts, coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Keep warm.

  4. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill until no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve with peanut sauce.
