Here’s a delicious Juicy Coconut-Lime Chicken Skewers recipe you can try:
🥥🍋 Coconut-Lime Chicken Skewers
Ingredients:
2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) coconut milk (full-fat for best flavor)
Zest and juice of 2 limes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon olive oil (or sesame oil for nuttier flavor)
½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Bamboo or metal skewers
Instructions:
Prepare Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice & zest, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar/honey, olive oil, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Marinate Chicken
Add chicken cubes to the marinade, mix well to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (best 4–6 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor).
Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
Grill or Pan-Cook
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cook skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred at the edges.
Serve
Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges.
Serve with coconut rice, grilled veggies, or a fresh salad.
👉 Tip: You can reserve a little marinade (before adding raw chicken) and simmer it down to make a delicious drizzle sauce for serving.
