Yield Makes 40 chipotle-sesame chicken skewers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies*
1 teaspoon dried cumin
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 120 pieces)
40 6-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes, drained
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (black or white or combination)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Blend first 5 ingredients in processor until smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Preheat broiler. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Thread 3 chicken pieces onto each skewer. Transfer to large baking sheet in single layer. Brush chicken with 1/4 cup sauce. Broil chicken without turning until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with sesame and cilantro. Serve with remaining sauce.
  • Chipotle chilies, canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are sold at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Overall, I thought these skewers were just okay. The marinade was a bit bland and the chicken was a little dry.

These skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them!

I'm not usually a fan of chicken skewers, but these were really good! The marinade was flavorful and the chicken was juicy.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the marinade was delicious. I'll try grilling them next time instead of baking.

These skewers were a little spicy for me, but still very good. I'll probably reduce the amount of chipotle sauce next time.

I've tried many chicken skewer recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chipotle and sesame marinade is perfection.
