Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast

  • Marinade
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 small stalk lemongrass
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Peanut Sauce
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup lightly salted roasted peanuts
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1/2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Soak about 20 skewers in hot water while doing all the prep work so they don't burn on the grill
  2. Slice the chicken into thin strips
  3. Finely mince the garlic and add to the yogurt
  4. With the side of a heavy chef's knife, hit the lemongrass stalk a few times to help loosen the outer husk and break up the fibers
  5. Pull the outer husk of the lemon grass off and discard
  6. Finely chop the interior of the lemongrass and add to the yogurt
  7. Add the juice from the lemon, ginger, pepper flakes, curry powder, pepper, and salt to the yogurt
  8. Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and refrigerate for at least an hour and a half
  9. Finely chop two cloves of garlic and add to the peanut butter
  10. Chop the peanuts into small pieces and add to the peanut butter and garlic
  11. Add the Chinese Five Spice, curry powder, oyster sauce, and sweet chili sauce to the peanut butter and garlic
  12. Mix well and slowly add the water to thin the sauce
  13. Slide the chicken strips onto the skewers
  14. Grill on medium heat for five to ten minutes, until done but not dry
  15. Transfer chicken to a glass dish and coat with the peanut sauce

Tips

  • Watch the chicken carefully while it's on the grill. Due to the smaller size, it's easy to let it get dried out.
