Marinated Thai Chicken Kebabs Recipes

GRILLED THAI CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH COCONUT-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Cut the breasts into 1½" pieces and set aside.
• Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the sauce by whisking together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill to high heat. Meanwhile, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers with the Coconut-Peanut Sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

EASY THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes or strips and thread onto skewers. (Alternatively, you can marinate the chicken first and thread onto skewers just before grilling.)
• Put chicken pieces in a shallow dish, pour marinade over top and turn chicken pieces to make sure all are coated or submerged. Let marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator
• Grill over medium heat, turning after 7 minutes. Grill on the other side until chicken is no longer pink and the internal temperature of the thickest parts registers 165°F.
• Add a squeeze of lime and serve with lime quarters. Delicious over Never-Fail Thai Coconut Rice.

THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place the coconut milk, brown sugar, curry pasta, ginger, lime zest, salt and pepper in a resealable freezer bag. Seal and shake to combine.
• Place the chicken in the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour or up to 8 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers.
• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium heat. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
• Sprinkle the cilantro and peanuts on top of the chicken and serve with peanut sauce.

CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients with some seasoning. Add the chunks of chicken, mix well, cover and chill. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water - this will prevent them burning when cooking (or use metal skewers). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers (discard any remaining marinade), alternating with pieces of pepper and onion. Brush the skewers lightly with oil and season.
• Heat the grill to high. Grill the kebabs for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until golden and lightly charred. The veg should be tender, and the chicken cooked through, so it easily slides off the skewers.
• Warm the flatbreads in a griddle pan or dry frying pan on a medium heat until golden and toasted. Serve with the kebabs, lettuce, chilli sauce, extra yogurt and squeeze over some lemon just before eating.

MARINATED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH A PEANUT SATAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or storage container. Chop chicken into about 2cm cubed pieces, add to marinade and marinate for several hours or overnight.
• Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using to prevent them from burning while cooking.
• Reserve marinade. Thread a piece of chicken followed by a mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken, mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken and vegetables.
• Grill or BBQ skewers turning a couple of times and basting with the reserved marinade. Until cooked about 15-20 minutes.
• I usually use red and yellow peppers as well but as I was serving these over a Thai-style salad that already had peppers in it, I chose to omit them.
• Sauce.
• I prefer to make this ahead of time and just re-heat as this allows for the flavors to really come out.
• Heat oil in a pan, add onions and garlic and cook to soften onion.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine, leave on a low heat, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens. Sauce can be made a day ahead and just re-heated.
