Oriental Chicken Kabobs


Source: Vicky's Kitchen

Servings: 4 - 6

Why I Like It: A simple marinade that I once put in a pretty jar and gifted it on Father’s day. You can also leave your chicken breasts whole instead of making kabobs. Grilling them is my favorite but the broiler works great too.

Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breasts
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced green onions
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
bamboo skewers

Directions:
Soak skewers in water for several hours or overnight. Cut chicken into large pieces. Place in plastic bag. Combine next 6 ingredients in a small bowl and pour over chicken. Let stand 30 minutes. You can even marinade overnight. Thread 4-6 pieces on each skewer. Broil for 4-6 minutes on each side (3-4 inches from the heat) or grill outdoors.

I love to serve this with steamed rice and sugar snap peas. I stir-fry my peas in a little sesame oil. When they are crisp and bright green, I toss with a few splashes of soy sauce and a dash of garlic chili sauce.
