Grilled Chicken Skewers with Peanut-Ginger Sauce
12 ingredients
openrecipes
Rich, creamy coconut milk balances an intriguing combination of flavors in this bold, ginger-spiked peanut sauce. Some of the sauce is used as a marinade to pump up the mild taste of chicken breasts. The rest is cooked for a few minutes to gain intensity and then perfectly complement the grilled chicken skewers as a dipping sauce.
