These Chicken Curry Skewers are packed with flavour, and the best part is that the hardest job is remembering to pop the chicken in the marinade the night before!
It’s a super simple mix of ingredients, but an overnight soak gives the chicken plenty of time to become beautifully tender and full of flavour. We’ve threaded peppers and onion onto the skewers too, adding even more colour and a little extra sweetness as everything cooks.
Serve with fluffy rice for a filling meal or a crisp side salad to keep things light. Either way, this is one recipe you’ll keep coming back to.
