Curry Massala Chicken Skewers

Having curry is fun, fast and easy (sexy too!) with Baron’s Curry & Massala Paste. The paste is a curry and spice mix blend that makes it quick and easy to add vibrant flavours to your meals. 

For this recipe we used a stovetop grill, which makes preparing this dish even easier. It’s a winner for those days when you’re short on time. For dipping we used Baron’s Banana Ketchup and Mango Chutney.

Curry Massala Chicken Skewers
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Caribbean
Author: Leigh-Ann Martin
Ingredients
For the Skewers:
  • 3 Tbsp.  Baron Curry & Massala Paste
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. brown rum
  • 1 tsp.  garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts, washed
For the dip:
  • Baron Mango Chutney
  • Baron Banana Ketchup
Preparation
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30-60 minutes.  If using metal ones, brush a thin coat of vegetable or canola oil to prevent foods from sticking.
  2. With a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 6-8 long, thin strips; set aside.
  3. Make the marinade: mix the Baron Curry & Massala paste, oil, rum, garlic powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Toss the chicken strips in the thick marinade, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate for no less than 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  4. Prepare the skewers: thread the meat onto the skewers by weaving 3-4 pieces of seasoned chicken strips back and forth along the length of the skewer.
  5. Preheat a cast iron, stovetop grill pan.  Brush the pan with vegetable oil then place the  skewers on it for about 4-5 minutes each side until cooked all the way through.  Allow the meat to brown before turning with a pair of tongs, never with hands.
  6. Serve the skewers warm with Baron's Banana Ketchup or Mango Chutney as dipping sauces.
