Chicken meat is so mild in flavor and texture that to make it more appetizing, it is convenient to add some cream, sauce or ingredient that enhances its flavor, and green curry takes care of that task in this recipe.
Quinoa, for its part, is a seed whose consumption has spread in recent times in our kitchen. Considered a natural super food, it has a very mild flavor and contains iron, magnesium and protein. It behaves as an ideal ingredient to accompany meat, fish or prepare salads. If you like the combination of flavors and textures that I suggest in this article, keep reading and learn with me how to prepare the recipe for chicken curry skewers with quinoa.
Ingredients to make Curry Chicken Skewers with Quinoa:
• 4 filleted chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons green curry paste
• 60 milliliters of coconut cream
• 300 grams of quinoa
• 500 milliliters of water or broth to cook the quinoa
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 bunch of chopped cilantro or parsley
• 2 spring onions chopped
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
• Mint leaves to decorate
How to make Quinoa Chicken Curry Skewers:
In a bowl, put the curry paste, the coconut cream and mix well. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Prick the breasts with the wooden sticks for skewers (each breast on one), put them in the curry mixture and coconut cream and marinate them for about 10 minutes.
Grease a baking tray with oil and place the chicken curry skewers. Once this is done, we put the tray under the grill and roast them for 6 or 7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
Put the broth or water in a saucepan with the quinoa over high heat and, when it starts to boil, reduce the heat, cover the saucepan and cook for about 15 minutes or until the broth has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Remove with a fork to loosen the grains. Put the quinoa in a bowl and add the ginger, parsley, spring onion and sesame oil and mix everything well.
We distribute the quinoa on the plates, put the skewers on top and serve with mint leaves and coriander. Without a doubt, these chicken curry skewers with quinoa are spectacular and are ideal to serve when we have guests. To complete the menu, we can prepare other appetizers, such as puff pastry handkerchiefs stuffed with asparagus or cucumber and smoked salmon rolls.
