- For the Grilled Chicken Skewers:

Preparation
Making the Curry-Infused Hollandaise
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Gradually add the melted butter, a little at a time, whisking continuously. Once the sauce is smooth and creamy, stir in the curry powder and season with salt. Keep warm until serving.
Preparing the Chicken Skewers
In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a platter and drizzle generously with the warm curry-infused hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added flavor and color. Serve with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the hollandaise is kept warm but not hot to prevent curdling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less curry powder.
