Coconut-Marinated Chicken Kebobs and Pineapple Rice
We loved this dinner! I did most of the prep early in the day, so all we had to do was thread the kebobs, light the grill, and cook the rice, which I do in the microwave.
I was a little bit concerned about the amount of jalapeno called for, but wanted to make this exactly to recipe, so I could give it a fair review. I didn't need to worry, as the coconut milk seems to help mellow out the heat a bit. (And, it was coconut milk that I used)
The timing was exactly right, and the kebobs were done in just under 20 minutes. This is such an easy weeknight meal, and since the prep time was fairly quick, I really didn't need to do it ahead of time. We loved the flavors of both the kebobs and the pineapple rice, and agreed that this meal was a solid 9. If it had been a 90 degree day, we might have given it a 10. Ron made the comment, that's when it would be best. We will definately be doing this one again.
Here's a toast to Jolene. Hope you had a great birthday at the beach!
