Ingredients

For the marinade

2 Cloves Garlic Peeled and crushed
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 tbsp Runny honey
2 tsp Medium curry power
800 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs Or breasts

For the sauce

400 ml Coconut milk I use Reduced Fat
200 g Crunchy peanut butter
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 tsp Medium curry powder
2 tbsp Honey
1-2 Limes Juice

To garnish

60 g Spring onions (scallions) Trimmed and chopped
50 g Dry roasted peanuts Lightly crushed

Instructions

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Remove from the fridge and thread the chicken on to skewers. (Discard the marinade in that bowl if there is any left at the bottom.)
Put the skewers on the grill pan, under a hot grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning regularly, until starting to blacken at the edges slightly.
While the chicken is cooking, put the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and cook over a medium low heat for 10 - 15 minutes until thickened.
Serve the skewers and sauce together sprinkled with chopped spring onions and roasted peanuts.

Notes

Skewers
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water while you marinade the chicken. This will stop them burning.

Peanut Butter
Make sure you use sugar-free peanut butter.

Sauce
This makes quite a lot of sauce but honestly, who wants half a can of leftover coconut milk? It will keep in the fridge for a few days and is delicious with noodles or as a dipping sauce.
