Description
Savor the joy of Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, a nostalgic dish filled with tender chicken and a sweet-savory sauce, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 inch Ginger (grated)
- 1 Bell pepper (cut into pieces)
- 1 Zucchini (sliced)
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Combine teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to avoid burning. Cut veggies into similar-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread chicken and veggies onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced out.
- Heat the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high, or use a broiler or skillet if needed.
- Grill to Perfection: Cook skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with marinade until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve Immediately: Let skewers rest briefly before serving with extra teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds.
Notes
For a different protein option, try shrimp or tofu. Skip the teriyaki sauce for hoisin or sweet chili sauce for a twist.
