Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), cut into cubes
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Optional: bell peppers and onions for skewering
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Add chicken cubes and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- 2. Prepare the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning.
- 3. Assemble: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.
- 4. Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high (400°F / 200°C).
- 5. Grill: Cook skewers on the grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush with marinade during grilling for added flavor.
- 6. Serve: Transfer skewers to plates and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions before serving.
