Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a blender or food processor, combine peanut oil, coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
2
Add the chicken breast to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
4
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Serve immediately with a side of spicy peanut sauce, kecap manis, and fresh cucumber slices.
