This Asian-inspired sauce features a pantry ingredient you might have on hand if you're doing AIP-tigernut flour. It will remind you of a peanut sauce and pairs beautifully with grilled chicken.

Ingredients

Tigernut Butter Sauce

  • ¼ cup tigernut flour
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons coconut aminos
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ cup warm filtered water

Chicken Marinade

  • 3 chicken breasts about 1 ½ pounds
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 stock lemongrass bottom ⅓ (tender inner layer), minced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • pinch sea salt

Garnish

  • 1 ounce fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

Prepare

  • Soak 4 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes or soak 4 stocks thin lemongrass to use those as the skewers. Note: If using metal skewers, no need to soak.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat.

Whisk the tigernut butter sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the tigernut flour, avocado oil, coconut sugar, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, minced garlic, and water. Whisk until smooth. Taste and add salt to taste.

Chicken Skewers

  • Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch by 2-inch cubes. Set in a bowl and cover with the minced garlic, minced lemongrass, coconut aminos, avocado oil, and sea salt. Massage and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Skewer the chicken and place kabobs onto clean grill grates. Do not move. Allow to cook for 5 minutes then rotate with tongs (chicken is fully cooked when the internal temp reaches 165℉). Remove and sauce immediately with the tigernut butter sauce. Top with cilantro and serve hot.
