Directions
CHICKEN:
  • Place coconut milk, lime juice, oil, cilantro, ginger, sugar and garlic in a large mixing bowl.

  • Thread chicken strips onto soaked skewers and grill over direct medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side.
  • Watch closely. Serve warm.

SAUCE:
  • Place coconut milk, peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, onion, chile sauce, garlic, vinegar, lime zest, cilantro and basil in a medium saucepan.
