Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into one-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon canola or sunflower oil
- 1 14- ounce Can coconut milk
- lime zest from 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons crushed coriander
- 1 tablespoon curry mild powder

Instructions
Instructions:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 1 hour prior to grilling.
- Combine oil, coconut milk, lime zest, seasonings, Sriracha, brown sugar and soy sauce in a large zippered bag. Add chicken and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
- Preheat grill to 375°F (a medium-hot fire). While grill is heating remove chicken from marinade allowing excess marinade to drain back into a bag. Thread chicken onto skewers placing 5-6 pieces on each skewer.
- Place marinade in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer until sauce is reduced to about one half. Set aside and keep warm.
- Spray or rub grill grates with oil. Place skewers onto a prepared grill. Sprinkle chicken lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and grill until cooked through and golden brown, turning often, about 8 minutes. Do not over-cook.
- Allow chicken to rest 2-5 minutes. Serve with steamed jasmine rice. Serve with sauce drizzled over top or on the side for dipping. Sprinkle generously with finely chopped fresh cilantro.
