Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste The secret weapon for that authentic flavor!
  • 14 oz coconut milk For creamy consistency
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Adds a touch of umami
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice For a zesty kick
  • 1 tablespoon honey To balance out the heat
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Because garlic makes everything better
  • Skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes) Safety first!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and garlic powder.
  3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once marinated, thread the chicken onto the skewers, aiming for 4-5 pieces per skewer.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high.
  2. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
  1. Remove skewers from the grill and optionally drizzle a bit of extra lime juice on top. Serve with jasmine rice or salad.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate longer or even overnight. Alternatives to grilling include using a grill pan or broiler. Leftovers can be stored for 2-3 days, or used creatively in salads or wraps.
