Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh pineapple in chunks
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Yogurt Sauce
- 3/4 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced peeled and seeded cucumber
- 1/8 cup sliced scallion white and light green parts only
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- If using wood skewers, place them in a water bath to soak for 30 minutes.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Toss with coconut oil, curry powder, cayenne, and salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber yogurt dipping sauce by combining the yogurt, cumin, salt, pepper, cucumber, scallion, and cilantro in a large bowl. Stir well, then cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Prepare a grill over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto skewers in an alternating pattern. Cook the skewers on the grill until the chicken pieces are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve with cucumber yogurt dipping sauce.

Notes
- To store leftover Grilled Chicken Curry Skewers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the skewers for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, thaw frozen skewers in the fridge overnight and then warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat.
