1.
For the marinade, mix together the garlic, ginger and coconut milk. Add the lemon grass, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, turmeric and cumin and mix well.
2.
Thinly slice the chicken breasts lengthways, flatten each slice slightly with the blade of a knife and then mix with the marinade in a bowl. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
3.
Soak wooden skewers in cold water for around 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the barbecue.
4.
For the sauce, briefly fry the shallot and ginger together in hot oil in a pan. Add the peanut butter and fry together briefly, browning lightly. Deglaze with the stock and coconut milk and simmer for around 10 minutes until thickened and creamy.
5.
Blend the sauce to a fine purée. Add extra stock if necessary and season to taste with lime juice, salt and cayenne pepper.
6.
Heat the grill function in the oven.
7.
Drain the marinated chicken strips and thread them onto the skewers. Place on an oiled grill rack on a baking tray and grill on the top shelf in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Turn once, browning evenly all over.
8.
Serve the skewers with small bowls of peanut dipping sauce.
