My good friend Chelsea made this delicious coconut chicken skewer recipe for me and my family a few weeks ago and it was a massive hit. So I of course got the recipe. Full of flavour, this dish is incredibly easy to prepare and kid-friendly—making it the perfect year-round meal for the whole family.
I baked my skewers in the oven, but you could definitely BBQ or grill them on the stove-top if you’d prefer. This recipe can also be adapted to your taste palette, so feel free to take it up a spice notch by adding more curry powder.
Enjoy!

PS – This recipe goes great with the Kale Caesar Salad recipe I shared last week 😉
