Sizzling Summer Recipe: Thai Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Thai-Inspired Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Hey there! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Thai-Inspired Pineapple Chicken Skewers. This dish always reminds me of warm summer nights and backyard BBQs with friends. The combination of juicy pineapple, marinated chicken, and fragrant spices is sure to impress at your next gathering.

Ingredients:

• 500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 small pineapple, cut into chunks
• 200ml coconut milk
• 50ml soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp red curry paste
• bamboo skewers, soaked in water

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• tongs
• knife

To start, mix the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, fresh ginger, lime juice, and red curry paste in a mixing bowl. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces and pineapple chunks onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.

Serve the Thai-Inspired Pineapple Chicken Skewers hot off the grill, garnished with some fresh chopped cilantro. The juicy sweetness of the pineapple combined with the savory, spiced chicken is a flavor explosion in every bite.
