Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
  • 2 medium Bell peppers (various colors)
  • 1 medium Red onion
  • 1 medium Zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter
  • 0.25 cup Coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 2 medium bell peppers (various colors), 1 medium red onion, and 1 medium zucchini into 1-inch pieces.
  2. 2Thread the cut chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating them. In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over all sides of the assembled skewers.
  3. 3Mince the 2 cloves garlic and grate the 1 teaspoon ginger. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup sunflower seed butter, 0.25 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the minced 2 cloves garlic, the grated 1 teaspoon ginger, and 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes until the sauce is smooth.
  4. 4Preheat an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan to medium heat, aiming for a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
  5. 5Place the prepared skewers directly on the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is opaque throughout and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender-crisp with slight char marks.
  6. 6Carefully remove the grilled skewers from the grill. Serve the hot skewers immediately with the prepared peanut-free satay sauce on the side.
