  1. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, red curry paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Add chicken breast cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high temperature, around 400°F (200°C). Soak wooden skewers in water.
  4. Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
