Ingredients
For the marinade
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
For the skewers
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch cubes
- Chopped green onions to garnish
- Sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- To a large bowl whisk the ingredients to marinate the chicken; soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey, oil, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Thread a piece of chicken onto a wooden or metal skewer followed by bell pepper, onion and then a chicken piece and repeat until the end of the skewers.
- Place the chicken skewers on the griddle or grill pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through turning the skewers often.
- Once done, brush the reserved marinated sauce over the skewers and garnish the chicken skewers with green onions and sesame seeds before servings.
Notes
- Cut the meat into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour.
- Soak wooden and bamboo skewers in water for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Prep the kabobs up to 24 hours in advance and cover tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge until ready to cook.
- Cut vegetables slightly smaller than the meat so the meat, which takes longer to cook, remains in contact with the grill.
- Turn the kabobs frequently to prevent burning.
- Adjust the amount of garlic chili sauce to adjust the amount of heat in the sauce.
- We love chicken breasts, but boneless, skinless chicken thighs would be juicy and flavorful.
- Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when checked with a meat thermometer.
