Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 pieces Chicken Breasts (Chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup Canned Pineapple Juice (Essential for marinating)
- 1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Replace with tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (Can substitute with honey or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon Fish Sauce (Omit for vegetarian option)
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed is ideal)
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha/Asian Hot Chili Sauce (Add to taste for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter (Do not substitute)
- 1/2 cup Coconut Milk (Can replace with heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (Omit for thinner consistency)
- 1/4 cup Crushed Peanuts (Sprinkle generously before serving)
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions (Chopped)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine canned pineapple juice, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and ground seasonings. Add the chopped chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine a portion of the reserved marinade with crunchy peanut butter and coconut milk. Whisk continuously until smooth and begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). If using an oven, set it to broil and place the rack a few inches from the heating element.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces and fresh pineapple chunks onto the prepared skewers.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove skewers and drizzle the warm peanut sauce over the chicken. Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
