Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the boneless, skinless chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, low-sodium soy sauce, yellow curry powder, ground turmeric, ground coriander, chili powder, coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar or honey. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
  3. After marinating, thread the chicken onto the soaked skewers.

  5. Remove from skillet, slide chicken off skewers, and layer over a base of jasmine rice or cooked noodles with fresh vegetables.
  6. Garnish with cilantro, lime juice, and chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.
