I will re-post the recipe here because it's already in the second page of the forum.

I did not finish them as skewers, just grilled the chicken breasts, sliced them thinly, and served with the (warmed up) reserved marinade on top. Also did not bother with the shredded coconut coating.

They are absolutely delicious, I hope my photos turn out ok, so I can put them on my blog

Thanks so much for posting.... A keeper recipe for sure!

Sabu's Spicy Coconut Chicken Skewers

1/2 cup apricot jam

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/2 cup canned coconut milk

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons curry powder

1/4 heaping teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

wooden skewers

Combine all ingredients, except chicken and coconut (and skewers of course), in a saucepan and heat while stirring until boiling. Reduce heat to medium/low and allow marinade to reduce somewhat, (about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Put chicken breasts in a pan and pour most of the marinade on top, saving a small portion in a container for later. Make sure both sides of the breasts are coated with the marinade and let pan sit in a refrigerator at least 2 hours (I leave mine overnight).

Toast the coconut on a baking sheet or shallow pan in a 350-degree oven, turning the coconut with a spatula periodically so that it is a light brown. (dark brown works too, so don't worry if it's overdone).

 
Apologies to Michael....

I've made a few modifications - adding salt before grilling (unless I've missed something in the recipe, I did not see any salt added)

and allowing the marinade to cool before adding to the chicken

I do think it merits going to the tried and true, we loved it!

 
I've added it to my 'to try' pile.... the pile is threatening to fall on me at this point!

 
It would be interesting....

.... to compare our "piles" at some point...

I need therapy. ANd I need it fast!

 
WAIT, I'm sure I have a 'therapy' recipe in here somewhere....maybe we can get a 2-for-1 discount?
