Instructions
- Purée first 6 ingredients and salt in a blender until smooth. Add cilantro leaves and jalapeño and blend briefly to combine. Transfer 1/2 marinade to a small bowl; cover and chill for serving. (Return to room temperature before using.) Place remaining marinade in are sealable plastic bag; add chicken, seal bag, and turn to coat. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Holding 2 skewers parallel to each other and 1/2” apart, thread 1 piece of chicken onto skewers, then 1 apricot half. Repeat with 1 more chicken piece and 1 more apricot half(using 2 skewers helps hold the meat and fruit together, preventing them from twirling around when skewers are turned on the grill). Repeat with remaining skewers, chicken, and apricots , each holding 2 pieces of chicken and 2 apricot halves. Brush apricots with some marinade from bag; discard remaining marinade.
- Grill skewers on one side until chicken is well browned, 3—4 minutes. Turn and grill until other side is well-browned, 3—4 minutes longer. Move to a cooler part of grill. Cover grill and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 2 min. longer. Transfer to a serving platter; sprinkle with cilantro sprigs and peanuts, and drizzle with reserved marinade. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the skewers
