Coconut Amino Pluot Marinated Chicken Skewers

This unusual combination yields a most delicate and wonderful flavor. While chicken is featured here, this marinade would be an equally welcome flavor add to pork or beef on skewers. Grilling lends even more flavor.

Pluot Coconut Amino Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

2 lbs chicken breast, cut into strips (or pork or beef)

2 ripe sweet pluots or plums

1/3 cup Coconut Secret coconut aminos

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 clove garlic finely chopped or crushed in a garlic press

Remove the skins and pits from the pluots/plums. Discard the pits. Eat the skins. (They’re good for you.) Use a small food processor or handheld blender to liquefy the flesh of the pluots/plums. You may be able to do this with a little more effort by hand – mashing them with a fork. However you accomplish this, put the resulting juice in a bowl. Add the coconut aminos, onion, and garlic to the bowl and mix well.

Pour this marinade mixture over the strips of chicken in a ziplock bag. Massage the bags to coat the chicken evenly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.

Skewer the chicken strips and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through.

Hint: If you are grilling a fatty meat like pork or beef, try to avoid letting the fat drip onto the flames (gas grill) or coals, as this creates carcinogenic chemicals that get on your food. Using indirect heat is the healthy way to grill.
