Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup hot water
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into chunks

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and ground ginger; whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • In a small bowl, stir the hot water and peanut butter until smooth, then add this mixture to the marinade and mix to combine.
  • Place the chicken pieces in a zip-top bag or resealable container and pour in the marinade; seal and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with red and green bell pepper chunks.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the skewers 5–7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Optional: while the chicken cooks, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan for 4–5 minutes, then simmer briefly; use to baste or drizzle over cooked skewers.

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • zip-top bag or resealable container
  • Skewers
  • saucepan (optional)
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Notes

  • Marinate at least 3 hours for best flavor.
  • Use metal or soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning.
  • Boil leftover marinade before using as a sauce.
