Red curry chicken kebabs are a wonderful fusion of smoky grilled chicken and the rich, aromatic flavors of Thai cuisine. Marinating the chicken in red curry paste and coconut milk infuses the meat with a creamy, spicy depth that's beautifully complemented by the char from grilling. This dish showcases the balance of flavors that Thai cooking is famous for: spicy, creamy, and fresh. Kebabs, or skewered grilled foods, have a long history in many cultures and this particular Thai-inspired version offers a playful yet authentic taste experience. The combination of tender chicken pieces with crisp, vibrant vegetables like red pepper, courgette, and red onion creates not only a pleasing texture but also a colorful presentation that’s sure to impress. Serve these kebabs alongside fragrant herby rice and a crisp salad to soak up the flavors. The final touch of squeezing fresh lime juice over the skewers adds a bright citrus note that cuts through the richness, making each bite refreshing and balanced. These kebabs are perfect for a summer barbecue or a fun weeknight dinner with a Thai twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tblsp Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 2 tblsp Coconut Milk
  • 1 chopped Red Pepper
  • 1 chopped Courgettes
  • 1 cut thin wedge Red Onions
  • To serve Lime

Instructions

Begin by heating your barbecue grill or griddle pan over high heat to achieve a perfect sear and smoky char on the kebabs. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts, diced red pepper, sliced courgette, and thinly cut red onion with the Thai red curry paste and creamy coconut milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the fragrant marinade, which will infuse the chicken with rich, spicy goodness. Next, carefully thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces to create a colorful and balanced arrangement that ensures even cooking. Place the kebabs on the hot barbecue or griddle pan and cook for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a beautiful char on all sides and to cook the chicken through without drying it out. Once cooked, serve the kebabs hot with a side of herby rice and fresh salad to complement the spicy and creamy flavors. Don't forget to provide lime halves for squeezing over the kebabs just before eating — the zesty lime juice brightens the rich curry and adds a refreshing finish. For an extra touch, you might sprinkle freshly chopped coriander or a dash of chili flakes if you enjoy a bit more heat.
