Authentic Thai Red Curry Chicken Kebabs Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb chicken breast (cut into cubes)
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce (adjust for taste)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for grilling)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (cut into chunks)
  • 1 cup onions (cut into chunks)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice until well combined.

    For a spicier kick, add more red curry paste.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Marinating overnight enhances the flavors.
  3. Prepare Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers.

    Alternate chicken and vegetables for even cooking.
  4. Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

    A hot grill creates beautiful grill marks.
  5. Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer; chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
