Asian Flavored Chicken Skewers

I love bbq season, but it's been over 30 degrees C everyday and as a Canadian, I do not cope with the heat very well.  Therefore, I opted for our indoor electric bbq to cook these delicious chicken skewers.  If you don't have an indoor or outdoor bbq, these skewers can be pan fried.







 Ingredients:
-1 kg of chicken breast
-2 minced garlic cloves
-1 red pepper
-1 can of pineapples
-20 wooden skewers
-3 tbsp each of soy sauce, honey and balsamic vinegar
-1 tbsp of sesame oil
-1 tsp of minced ginger
-1 tsp of pepper
Chicken with sauce mixture

Chicken skewers on the grill













Instructions:
-Combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil and pepper. 
-Chop chicken into 1 inch pieces.
-Combine sauce and chicken into a Ziploc bag and let this marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. 
-Cut up the red pepper and pineapples into 1 inch pieces and soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes.
-Skewer on the chicken, red pepper and pineapples in any order you prefer.
-Grill on the bbq or pan fry for approximately 4 minutes on each side.

Optional:
-Sprinkle sesame seeds on the chicken skewers.
-Goes great with steamed rice.
-Cook them in advance and heat up in the oven to serve warm.
