- 2 tsp gluten-free reduced-sodium tamari
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½ inch strips
- For the Thai-almond sauce:
- ¼ cup, plus 1 tablespoon natural almond butter
- ¼ cup, plus 2 tablespoons lite coconut milk

How to make it
Combine the marinade ingredients and transfer to a resealable bag with the chicken. Refrigerate, and marinate for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, mix together the almond-sauce ingredients, and set aside.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces onto long skewers (being sure to soak them first if they're wooden), and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Serve with the almond sauce, garnished with toasted almonds and green onions if desired.
