Preparation
You’ll Need :
Wooden cooking skewers
Method:
Start with the marinade-Combine the peanut butter, chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic (finely chopped), cilantro finely chopped (about a 1/3 cup), green onions finely chopped, salt, black and red pepper in a gallon zip block bag or large container with lid. Next cut the chicken breast into about 2 inch chunks and add to the marinade-make sure its fully submerged. Let it marinade in the fridge for one hour minimum to overnight. While its marinading take 8-12 cooking skewers and let them soak in water-this will prevent splintering when the skewers are cooking. Take the bell peppers and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Chop up more cilantro and peanuts if you wish to garnish. Now when the chicken has marinaded for at least an hour or more, its time to assemble the skewers. Take 2-3 cubes of chicken and thread onto the skewers than slide on a piece of bell pepper, repeat those steps again. Once you have all the skewers assembled they are ready to put on the grill over high heat. Turn them on the grill every 2-3 minutes or so. They are done when you cut into them and the juices run clear.
Oven method:
Preheat oven to broil on high. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Place the assembled skewers on the tray and in the oven. Leave to broil for about 5 minutes before flipping and putting back in for another 5 minutes. Make sure to cut in and check that the chicken is fully cooked through before serving.
