Directions

1. First, start off by whisking the coconut milk, red curry paste, orange zest and orange juice together and reserve ½ cup of the mixture in a separate container and put to the side.
2. Then take a ziplock bag, and begin tossing together the chicken breast cubes. When the chicken cubes have been coated then take them out of the bag and place in a bowl.
3. Next, take the fruit and the marinade that is in the ziplock bag and toss them together. Then take the food and let I marinate at room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes.
4. Now you can prepare a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill or use a George Foreman grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill. Puncture the chicken on to skewers and the fruit chunks onto skewers.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and skewered the chicken for 3-4 minutes preside being sure to cook thoroughly, and grill the fruit skewers for 2 minutes until visible marks are shown.
6. Then remove the chicken and fruit from the skewers and serve them over the salad greens drizzled with the reserved marinade. And Enjoy!
