Description
Delicious Teriyaki Chicken Skewers marinated in a savory sauce and grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, cut into wedges
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Brush this mixture onto the skewers for a glossy finish.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
