Grilled Curry Chicken Skewers

"Another recipe "stolen" from the Cambodian grandmother of a former student of mine. These are very similar to a dish served at a local Cambodian restaurant. At the restaurant you can also get it as an entree with rice. Prep time doesn't include marinating."

  1. These chicken skewers are not only healthy and easy to make, but they are DELICIOUS! I made this recipe with 5 lbs of chicken and I am sure glad I did. I boiled some of the marinade and added some coconut milk and mango chutney to make a dipping sauce. I loved this chicken. Thank you for posting this recipe.
     
  2. These would have to be the best curry chicken skeweres I have ever made or eaten! The marinade is just amazing and the chicken melts in your mouth. I used hot curry powder and hot paprika and brown sugar rather than honey. Served with veggie fried rice and salad - DH and I just scoffed this down! 10 stars and thank you for posting!
     
  3. these are fantastic. I didnt have a mango chutney to go with them, so i smashed up an over ripe apricot, added some mint, some lemon juice, and a little chopped green chili with a drizzle of honey as a chutney. MAKE THESE SKEWERS!!! i bought 3 inch appetizer ones and they worked like a dream. The flavor of all the marinade..mmmmmm. I smothered the skewers with the left over, and wished i had dinner parties or knew people bc this would be my huge numbers appy. I cut it in half and i had 12 mini skewers.

If I weren't a teacher, I'd be a chef. I love to cook, grew up cooking, had a fireman chef for a dad, and have spent most of my free time with cookbooks, food, entertaining, classes, study, and luckily I'm in one of the best food areas in the world! But...teaching is the absolute best job in the world. Don't tell anyone, but it's more like fun and you never get bored. My pet peeve is when people spell DEFINITELY wrong. I DEFINITELY don't want to read more reviews with DEFINITELY spelled wrong. But hey, I'm an English teacher :). My other pet peeve, food-wise, is "cream of whatever" soup. I think my mom OD'd us all on it when I was growing up. My biggest challenge in cooking was trying to learn FAST food. At an "older" age, I married, had a baby and have had to learn a new way to cook! No more leisurely hours to fix dinner for friends or an hour to put something together for me....! My daughter is seven now, opinionated, and it's a real challenge. Luckily she likes almost everything. And so does my sweetie. I loved seeing her horrified face at her first abalone fresh from the ocean (my husband dives for them occasionally...oh man, nothing better...) But she ate them and then slurped down some oysters!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/NZT-2-AnnaciasZaarTagbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Annacia's banner for Zaar Tag">
