Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 tbsp red curry paste
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tbsp lime juice (for salsa)
• 1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
• Skewers (bamboo or metal)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a separate bowl. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Serve the skewers warm, topped with the fresh avocado salsa.
