Ingredients
200 ml coconut milk
200 ml pineapple juice
50 ml white rum
10 g coriander, finely chopped
2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 red peppers, chopped into large cubes
1 red onion, chopped into large cubes
250 ml pineapple chunks
To serve
2 tsp. desiccated coconut
coriander, chopped
Directions
Step 1In a large bowl, add the coconut milk, pineapple juice, white rum, coriander and chicken. Stir to combine, cover and marinade in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Step 2Preheat grill to medium/ high.
Step 3Build the skewers by threading chicken, peppers, red onion and pineapple alternating each ingredient until you have used everything up.
Step 4Place the skewers under the grill for 14 minutes, turning halfway. The chicken should be cooked through, and the pineapple will start to caramelise.
Step 5Whilst they’re cooking, add the marinade to a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced.
Step 6Serve the skewers with a drizzle of the reduction and finish with coconut and coriander. Enjoy!
