Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 (8-ounces) can whole water chestnuts, rinsed and drained
1 bunch scallions, chopped (1 cup)
1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeño chile, including seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Special Equipment
6 (8-inch) wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Form mixture into 18 (2-inch-diameter) patties on a baking sheet, then thread 3 patties through their sides onto each skewer.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then transfer 3 skewers of patties using a large metal spatula to skillet and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered with foil. Add remaining teaspoon oil to skillet and cook remaining patties in same manner.
