healthy Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce

HOT DAMN EVERYBODYYYYYY! These peanut chicken skewers are everything you want and more Especially when you are looking for new ways to spice up the boring old chicken we are all tired of eating.

I am obsessed with this recipe. More so than most savory recipes and I am pretty sure that is because of how much I love peanut butter. And because of how flavorful this recipe is. It’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser and even the king himself, my 2 year old, loved them.

You can serve these skewers over your favorite salad, on a bed of rice, noodles, anything you want. You can also grill them or if you don’t have a grill (like Jord and I), your oven will cook these to perfection too.

I hope you guys love this recipe as much as we do and I cannot wait to hear what you think!!

FAQs on the peanut chicken skewers:

  1. Can I cook on the grill? Absolutely, I would save some sauce or make a little bit more to keep adding on as you grill.
  2. Whats a skewer? It’s one of the many names for the meat that is cooked on the wooden or metal stick. There are many different names but all basically mean the same thing!
  3. Are these good left over? Yes! I personally love eating these cold the next day, or you can reheat and add on top of some rice or quinoa.
  4. Can I use chicken breast? Of course, this is a great option too.

Instructions

  1. Mix together the peanut butter, garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, water and scallions in a small bowl
  2. In a large bowl or baking dish add the chicken and coat with the sauce and allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight (not 100% necessary but I love doing it so the flavor sets)
  3. Once chicken is marinated, add each piece to skewers
  4. If baking in oven preheat to 400 degrees and bake skewers on a baking sheet (I added an oven-safe cooling rack onto it so it wouldn’t stick) and bake for 20-22 minutes
  5. If grilling, cook over medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees F)
  6. Garnish with extra peanuts and sesame seeds and serve with desired sides or over a salad or slaw
