Grilled Chicken + Asian Kale Salad

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts (can substitute thighs), cut into chunks

• kosher salt/pepper

• metal or wooden skewers

For the Marinade

• 1 can coconut milk

• 2 tablespoons paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 1 lemon, zest and juice

Directions

1. Cut chicken into cubes or chunks. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Add the chicken, cover, place in refrigerator and marinate for at least one hour. (I wouldn't suggest marinating overnight.) 
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the chicken marinates. 
4. Place the marinated chicken on the skewers. You should have around eight skewers. 
5. Heat grill and spray with non-stick spray or brush with olive oil. Cook skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning throughout to ensure all sides are fully cooked.
