Cook time: 10 minutes<\/p>\n

[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/h3>\n

For the chicken:
<\/i>12 bamboo skewers (optional)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
\u00bc cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
\u00bc teaspoon salt
Cooking spray<\/p>\n

For the peanut sauce:
<\/i>\u00bc red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
\u00bc teaspoon nutmeg
\u00bc teaspoon coriander seeds
\u00bc teaspoon ground star anise
\u00bc teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
\u00be cup coconut milk
\u00bc cup reduced fat smooth peanut butter<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. If using skewers, soak them in a glass of water to prevent burning. Cut the chicken into 1-inch thick pieces and place in a glass dish. Pour coconut milk over the chicken. In a small bowl, mix the curry powder, sugar, coriander and salt together. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken, coating it thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.<\/li>\n
  2. In the meantime, make the peanut sauce. In a food processor, blend the onion, garlic, pepper flakes, nutmeg, coriander, star anise and salt until it\u2019s a thick paste. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar and coconut milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and cook for another minute than remove from heat.<\/li>\n
  3. If grilling, skewer the chicken and set the grill to medium heat. Otherwise, spray a large skillet with cooking oil and set over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in a single layer until browned, 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes of the second side. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest on a platter for a few minutes before serving.<\/li>\n
  4. To serve, dip the chicken into the peanut sauce and garnish with lime wedges or cilantro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
