Coconut Curry Chicken Skewers with Pineapple Salsa

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken skewers marinated in a creamy coconut curry sauce, topped with a refreshing pineapple salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup red curry paste

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced

  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry paste, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill or broil for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve the grilled chicken skewers topped with the fresh pineapple salsa.
