Sweet Fire Chicken Skewers
Juicy chicken kabobs with an Asian flair!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 and 1/2 inch cubes
- 4 bell peppers, red, green, yellow, and orange, seeded and cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces
- optional: 2 jalapeño or other hot peppers, sliced into 1 and 1/2 inch slices.
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1 and 1/2 inch chunks
sauce
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice, canned is fine
- 2 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp plum sauce (substitute plum jam, or make your own plum sauce!
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2-4 tsp sriracha sauce
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Thread your skewers, alternating chicken, onions, peppers, and pineapple.
- To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a sauce pan and stir well. Bring to a boil, stirring often. The sauce will thicken as it comes to a boil. Let it boil gently, stirring constantly, for a minute. Remove from heat and taste to see if you'd like to adjust the ingredients in any way. Set aside, or let cool and refrigerate if you're making in advance.
- Divide the sauce into two portions, and save one half for serving with the cooked skewers. Use the other half to brush each skewer on both sides before grilling.
- Grill the skewers over high heat for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is done through (it should register 160F on an instant read thermometer.) Brush with more sauce while cooking if you like.
- Heat the reserved sauce and brush the skewers with extra sauce just before serving. Provide any extra sauce on the side.
