This recipe is from my good friend Steve and is completely genius. It makes a tasty dinner or an easy party finger food when you want some flavorful chicken on a stick. It's best to let the chicken marinate over night, so plan to prep them the night before and pop them in the oven or on the grill last minute.
Steve's Chicken Skewers
1 Tbsp. coriander powder
2 tsp. cumin powder
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
3/4 cup peanuts
olive oil
2 lbs. chicken breasts, cubed
bamboo skewers
humus, for serving
Place ingredients in food processor, pulsing and adding oil slowly until the mix becomes a chunky paste consistancy. Rub paste on up to 2 pounds cubed chicken and marinate over night. Skewer meat on skewers.
In Oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay skewers across a foiled and lightly oiled cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
To Grill: Make sure to oil the grill grate. Grill on skewers over medium-hot heat until cooked through.
Serve with humus.
I'm on a sort of restrictive diet right now... i wonder if i could sub in coconut for the peanuts and lose the sugar and make it more of a savory affair?
Hmmm... looks soo so so tasty!

Okay... I currently have a batch of this marinating in the fridge. I subbed in raw almonds and raw unsweetened coconut for the peanuts. I skipped the sugar. I used coconut oil for part of the EVOO.
I'll let you know how it turns out!
