Chicken Kebabs

With the children back at school and us all getting back to the normal routine, if you are anything like me the question every evening is ‘what are we going to eat’?!  I was checking out some  kid-friendly supper dishes and thought I would share a chicken-kebab recipe with peanut sauce – and if the children do spill some of the sauce on the tablecloth you can just simply wipe it clean on your Wipe Easy tablecloth!

 

For the chicken: 

12 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce

 

For the peanut sauce:

3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon chopped scallion green

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Cut the chicken into ¼ inch strips.  Lay the strips on a cutting board and gently flatten by pounding with your fist; there will be a variety of shapes and sizes.  If some slices are very long (more than three bites), you may need to cut them into two.  Place the chicken in a bowl with the oil and soy sauce and turn the chicken in the sauce to coat.  Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.

In a bowl combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, scallions, garlic powder and whisk together. 

Preheat a flat griddle over a medium heat.  Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat dry and thread onto skewers, discard the marinade.  Place the chicken on a hot griddle so that the skewers are positioned away from the direct heat and cook the chicken until golden brown, 2/3 minutes per side.  Serve the skewers with the peanut sauce for dipping.

We do hope you enjoy!
