- 1 Chicken breast boneless, skinless
- ½ cup Coconut milk
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 1 Lime juiced, zested
- 2 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 2 tablespoon Soy sauce

Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into lengthwise strips. Place the chicken flat on a cutting board, and pound flat with a meat mallet or any heavy object you can use to pound the chicken.
Marinate: Mix together the ingredients for the chicken marinade. Add the chicken, and let sit for 30 minutes.
Air fry: Using tongs, drain off the excess chicken marinade and place the chicken in an air fryer basket. Spray the top lightly with cooking spray, and air fry for 10-12 minutes.
Prepare the peanut sauce: In a mixing bowl, mix together the peanut sauce and set aside.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket! To best mimic a grill or grill pan, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will allow the air to circulate and let the chicken get a nice char.
- Adjust the hot water in the sauce, according to the consistency you like for the peanut sauce.
