Our chicken skewers are not only festive and colorful, but each skewer is 39 calories and the sauce is fat free.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 22m

Yield 20 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each)
2 teaspoons Asian chile paste, such as sambal oelek
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 scallions
1/4 red bell pepper, cut into long thin strips
1/4 yellow bell pepper, cut into long thin strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, like soy or peanut
2 tablespoons chopped toasted peanuts
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons Southeast Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon Asian chile paste, such as sambal oelek
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or coriander (cilantro)

Steps:

  • Pound each chicken breast between 2 lightly oiled sheets of parchment or waxed paper into a 4 by 4 inch piece about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Lay a piece of chicken smooth-side down on the work surface. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the chile paste over the surface and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Trim and halve the scallions lengthwise. Lay them side-by-side across the lower third of the chicken, so there is white and greens at both ends. Top with 2 or 3 pieces of the red and yellow peppers. Roll the chicken around the vegetables into a tight cylinder. Thread a wooden skewer through the seam of the roll to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken and vegetables to make 4 rolls. These can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in an oven-proof nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the rolls with salt and pepper, to taste. Lay the rolls, seam side down, in the pan, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, water, chile paste, honey, mint and coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
  • To serve: Carefully remove the skewers, taking care to keep the rolls intact. Cut across the rolls to make round pieces about 3/4-inch thick, and thread onto skewers. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with peanuts and serve with the dipping sauce.

THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS



Thai Chicken Skewers image

A quick to prepare and extremely low-fat recipe from the 26 February 2007 issue of the Australian 'Woman's Day'. In Melbourne, we have many Thai restaurants and Thai recipes are featured regularly in our cooking magazines. NOT my sort of recipe: sounds way too hot for me, but I know that many others will love this! The preparation time below does not include the 15 minutes marinating time. I have suggested this recipe as also being suitable for picnics - where you'd take your marinated chicken in one container, and fresh salad greens in another container, and BBQ your chicken once you're at the picnic site.

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 12 Thai chicken skewers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

125 g natural yoghurt or 125 g Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped coriander
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, white part finely sliced
2 small fresh red chilies, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 chicken tenderloins, trimmed, flattened
steamed asian greens, to serve
hoisin sauce, to serve with Asian greens
lime wedge, to serve

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, coriander, ginger, lemongrass, chilli, fish sauce and cumin.
  • Add the chicken to the bowl and toss well to coat; allow to marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge; thread the chicken onto damp (see TIPS below) skewers.
  • Heat a char-grill or pan on medium; spray with oil; cook skewers for 4-5 minutes each side until the chicken is cooked through; serve with lime wedges and steamed Asian greens.
  • TIPS: Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes before cooking, to prevent scorching. Steam Asian greens in a steamer over gently simmering water; drain and drizzle with hoisin to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for skewers. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of different marinades, but be sure to include some type of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the proteins in the chicken.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. You can use any type of vegetables you like for your skewers, but some good options include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces.
  • Skewer the chicken and vegetables. Alternately thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers. Be sure to leave a little space between each piece so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the skewers over medium heat. You can cook the skewers on a grill, in a grill pan, or in the oven. If you're cooking them on a grill, preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include peanut sauce, teriyaki sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Thai-style chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a variety of marinades and dipping sauces to choose from, you can easily customize the skewers to your liking.
