Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers
Serves 4-6 Time: 1 hour 30 minutes Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
Skewers Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped into chunks
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced into chunks
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Directions
- Mix all marinade ingredients in a sealable plastic gallon bag. Add chicken to marinade, seal in bag, and knead bag to coat thoroughly. Let sit in refrigerator 1-8 hours, turning occasionally.
- Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes to prevent burning; metal skewers require no pre-cook treatment.
- Heat your griddle to medium-high heat. Alternate threading chicken, pepper, and onion onto your skewer. Continue until the entire skewer is full and all your skewers have been used.
- Coat griddle surface with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Place skewers on griddle and turn every 2-3 minutes for 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked (no longer pink in the middle or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees).
- Plate your skewers on a platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro.
