Time 4h35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup coconut aminos (soy-free seasoning sauce)
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chile-garlic paste, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 5 pieces
¼ cup pineapple juice
3 (24-inch) long metal skewers
¾ cup red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 ½ cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Combine coconut aminos, orange juice, avocado oil, ginger, and chile-garlic paste in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Season marinade with salt and pepper and add chicken pieces. Gently squeeze the sides of the bag, coating all of the chicken with the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and spread out chicken pieces in a single layer inside the bag.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, turning the bag a few times during that time.
  • Drain marinade into a small saucepan and add pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until marinade has reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, alternately thread each skewer with chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and pineapple. Repeat until each skewer is filled.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Set skewers on the hot grill grate. Brush with reduced marinade, reduce heat to medium, close the lid, and grill 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with marinade reduction. Monitor for flare-ups, and move skewers as necessary to manage any flames. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve skewers over hot cooked rice.

Cook quinoa until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until quinoa absorbs liquid, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat; let sit, covered, until ready to serve. Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat; coat with cooking spray. Cook chicken, turning once, for 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, turning once, until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove chicken; let rest two minutes. Slice each breast on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sugar peas and peppers until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat. Add mint and toss. Divide quinoa among 4 plates. Top each with 1 sliced chicken breast and 1/4 of the vegetables.

1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. They cook evenly and quickly, making them ideal for grilling.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help it stay moist and juicy while grilling.
  • Preheat the grill: Make sure the grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the chicken and vegetables. This will help prevent them from sticking and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Use a grill basket: A grill basket is a great way to cook vegetables on the grill. It helps keep them from falling through the grates and makes it easy to flip them.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Avoid overcrowding the grill with chicken and vegetables. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to steam instead of grill.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp.
  • Let the chicken and vegetables rest: After grilling, let the chicken and vegetables rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken and vegetables is a healthy and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
