Chicken On Lemongrass Skewers Recipes

VIETNAMESE LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallot in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
• Combine the chicken and marinade in a large bowl. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.) Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
• Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
• Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
• Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, sprinkled with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice (plus some thinly-sliced green onions) if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

CHICKEN ON LEMONGRASS SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut approx 3cm (1.2in) from the lemongrass (not the hard white part, the other end). Finely chop.
• Combine chopped lemongrass, peanut oil, lime rind and coriander in a shallow non-reactive dish.
• Cut each chicken breast into 4, and thread onto lemongrass skewers. The lemongrass skewers may bend, if this happens carefully use a knife to cut a slit into the chicken - it should thread on easily now.
• Place skewers in with marinade and turn to fully coat.
• Cover and marinade for 3 hours or overnight.
• Cook skewers on lightly oiled bbq until chicken is browned and cooked through.
• Combine dressing ingredients in a screw top jar and shake to combine.
• Serve chicken skewers over rice (optional) and top with dressing.
