Chicken Kebabs


We are having this tonight


Yields 4 servings, plus additional for 1 more meal

Cooking spray

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices

8 to 12 scallions

Wooden picks

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoons sesame seeds, to garnish


Coat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium- high.

Lay out 3 chicken strips, about 1/2-inch apart.


Place a scallion crosswise over the center of the chicken pieces. Then wrap chicken over scallion 1 by 1, securing with a toothpick.


Repeat process until you have used 1 pound of chicken.


Season and grill the remaining 1 pound chicken breasts for another meal later in the week.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder. Reserve half a cup of the marinade to use as a dipping sauce. Brush the remaining marinade all over the chicken-scallion skewers.


Grill kebabs 5 to 7 minutes turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.


Garnish the reserved dipping sauce with sesame seeds and serve alongside skewers
