There's nothing better than bite size pieces of chicken that are infused with Asian flavor. This simple Asian marinade comes together quick and easy. The chicken soak in the Asian marinade and then are grilled to perfection with fruit and vegetables.
Asian Chicken Kabobs
The first thing you want to do is to make the Asian marinade for the chicken at least two hours before you plan on grilling. I combine all of my ingredients in a mixing bowl and then pour it into a gallon size ziplock bag. This way I'm sure that all of the bite size pieces of chicken are soaking up the marinade, while they are in the refrigerator.
While the marinade is working it's flavorful magic you can enjoy your company and even grab a glass of Strawberry Punch. Once you are just about ready to grill, cut up the fresh vegetables and fruit for the skewers. We like to use red bell peppers, onions and pineapple, but feel free to change the vegetables to your favorite or whatever you were able to find at the local farmer's market.
One tip to keep in mind is that if you are using bamboo skewers, you want to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before you use them. This way they don't catch on fire on the grill. We use our metal skewers for our Asian Chicken Kabobs and save the bamboo skewers for our Lime Tequila Shrimp Kabobs. There's just something about shrimp and bamboo skewers that seem to go together.
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons fresh grated ginger root
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
- pineapple cut into chunks
- red bell pepper cut into chunks
- onion cut into chunks
- In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger root and cloves of garlic.
- Pour the marinade into a gallon size ziplock bag and add the bite size chicken pieces to the marinade.
- Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least two hours before grilling.
- Just before grilling alternate the chicken, pineapple, red bell peppers and onions on skewers.
- Cook the skewers on the grill for about 8-10 minutes depending upon the size of your chicken.
