Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water (10 minutes).
In a food processor or blender, process all sauce ingredients until smooth.
Thread chicken onto about a dozen skewers. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and set aside. Drizzle ¼ cup of the mixture over the raw chicken skewers.
Place oven rack at the highest setting and set the broiler to high. Broil chicken until partially cooked (4-5 minutes). Take the baking sheet out, turn the skewers over, drizzle another ¼ cup peanut sauce on top, and cook through (4-5 minutes).
Top the chicken with toasted coconut and serve with extra peanut sauce on the side.
