I don’t think my obsession with curry will ever come to an end. There are just so many different types of curry and ways to use it!

This super easy recipe is perfect for weeknight meals when you don’t have a lot of time. The husband went back for seconds, and then promptly claimed the leftovers as his “future snack.” What a jerk, am I right? 😉

Throwing this together is a total cinch. Just toss some chunks of chicken breast in some coconut oil, curry powder, ground cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let it sit while you cut up some pineapple and soak your wooden skewers (we don’t wan’t burning, now do we?), then thread the meat and fruit onto the skewers in an alternating pattern. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through. Done!

You can do this on the BBQ, or be lazy like me and use your handy grill pan. I seriously love that thing, I don’t know what I would do without it!

Do you avoid using your BBQ when it gets too hot outside?  I feel like I wait all year for the weather to be hot enough to grill, then once the weather is nice I complain about it being too hot and come inside to cook anyway. Realistically, I use my grill for probably three weeks in June and three weeks in late September. What a waste!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the cucumber-yogurt sauce! It’s super tasty and really easy. It’s just some plain yogurt (not the Greek kind!) mixed with diced cucumber, scallions, cilantro, cumin, and salt. It really brings some nice freshness to the skewers and cools down some of the kick from the cayenne.

You definitely need to go make this. Like, right now.
