Set these skewers on a tray and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. They're fantastic paired with our fresh dipping sauce made with lime, curry paste and coconut milk.

Ingredients

	13 1/2 fl oz light coconut milk, about 1 3/4 cups
	2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped, or to taste
	1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
	1 1/2 tsp red curry paste, Thai-variety
	1 tsp ginger root, fresh, grated
	1 tsp lime zest
	3/4 tsp table salt
	2 spray(s) cooking spray
	1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded thin, cut crosswise on the diagonal into 16 strips

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, cilantro, sugar, curry paste, ginger, lime zest and salt until blended; set 1 cup of coconut milk mixture aside for dipping sauce.
  
• Transfer remaining coconut milk mixture to a resealable plastic food storage bag (or shallow glass container with cover). Add chicken to bag (or container), seal and turn to coat; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
  
• Meanwhile, soak sixteen 18-inch wooden skewers in water for 20 to 30 minutes(to prevent scorching).
  
• Preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan rack with nonstick aluminum foil (or use a nonstick baking sheet coated with cooking spray).
  
• Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread one piece of chicken onto each skewer and place on prepared pan; coat with cooking spray. Broil, turning once, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  
• Meanwhile, bring reserved sauce to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Arrange skewers on serving platter. Spoon sauce into a bowl for dipping. Yields 2 skewers and about 1 tablespoon of sauce per serving.

Notes

 

• Cook the chicken on an outdoor grill or grill pan for attractive grill marks.
