Marinated Chicken Kebabs

There are countless ways in which you can cook boneless chicken breast. One of my favorite ways in which to prepare boneless chicken breast is to make chicken kebabs. Boneless chicken breast on its own is pretty bland, so I marinate the chicken in a teriyaki sauce to add tons of flavor. If the weather permits it you can grill these chicken kebabs on your grill. If the weather does not permit outdoor grilling, you may cook the kebabs using a broiler or a grill pan. 

Ingredients: 

two boneless chicken breasts cut into chunks 

one large onion cut into chunks

two red bell peppers cut into chunks 

four wooden skewers soaked in water 

Teriyaki Marinade: 

1/3 cup tamari soy sauce 

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce 

1/4 cup honey 

1/4 cup rice vinegar 

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon minced garlic 

1 tablespoon minced ginger 

Method: 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the teriyaki marinade until fully blended. Set the marinade to the side and prepare the chicken and vegetables. Cut the chicken breasts into equal sized chunks. After preparing the chicken, cut the red pepper and onion into chunks the same size as the chicken. Place the chicken pieces into the marinade. Marinate the chicken for at least one hour, or more preferably overnight. About an hour before you are ready to start cooking your kebabs, soak the wooden skewers in water up until you are ready to cook. Soaking the wooden skewers will help prevent them from catching fire while cooking. If you have metal kebab skewers there is no need to soak them before cooking. To prepare the chicken kebabs, first place a piece of onion, and red pepper onto the skewer. Next place a piece of marinated chicken onto the skewer. Repeat until you have 4 pieces of chicken on a skewer. Once you have prepared the kebabs it is time to cook them. I used a grill pan, which needs to have a layer of vegetable oil or non stick cooking spray before you start to cook the kebabs. Over a medium heat, cook the kebabs for three minutes on each side. It should take about twelve minutes in total cooking time for the kebabs. Serve the kebabs with any side dish or your choice. If you want to add other vegetables to the kebabs you can. I suggest cherry or grape tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, whole button mushrooms, or eggplant.
