These Tropical Chicken Skewers are a delightful twist on the classic kebab, featuring a medley of vibrant flavors and textures.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, curry powder, and ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
For a deeper flavor, prepare the marinade a day in advance and let it sit to enhance the spice blend.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and place them in a resealable plastic bag.
Ensure the chicken pieces are of uniform size for even cooking.
Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken, seal, and shake to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinating overnight will yield even more flavorful chicken.
Cut the pineapple and bell peppers into similar-sized chunks.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and preserve the texture of the fruits and vegetables.
Thread the chicken, pineapple, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto skewers.
Leave a small gap between pieces on the skewer for even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Brush the skewers with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Sprinkle the grilled skewers with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
