For those of you who follow me, you may notice that I’m not a huge chicken fan, so you better bet when I post a chicken recipe that it is AMAZING. I need crunchy caramelized bits on the outside and moist tenderness on the inside to be at all interested in chicken.

These chicken tenders are soaked in a coconut milk and red curry mixture that guarantees a tender juicy inside. Threading the tenders on skewers ensures a short cooking time and allows the outside to get beautifully charred with caramelization from the sugar in the coconut milk and spices form the red curry paste.

Serve these flavorful skewers over sesame noodles for a complete meal. I like to garnish with fresh sliced snap peas and thinly sliced baby red bell peppers with a sprinkle of cilantro. This adds the freshness that ties it all together.
