California Kabobs Recipes

KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, mix the teriyaki sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ginger. Place red bell peppers, onion wedges, mushrooms, beef, and chicken in the bag with the marinade. Seal, and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Discard marinade, and thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers, leaving a small space between each item.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill skewers for 10 minutes, turning as needed, or until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

CHICKEN KABOBS (LOW CAL.)

Steps:

• Mix the russian dressing,soya sauce and brown sugar in a bowl (no need to heat),I usually make a double batch so there is lots of marinade for the reserve. When well mixed, reserve 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinade to use for brushing on the skewers.
• Cut chicken breast,onion and peppers into 1 to 2 inch cubes (chicken shrinks quite a bit so don't cut too small).
• Put chicken into the marinade and refegerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Soak wooden skewers for 1/2 hour or so.
• Take chicken out of fridge.
• Dip pepper in marinade and push onto skewer to the end, then chicken, then dip onion in marinade and push onto skewer.
• Repeat untill there is none left, alternating vegtables with chicken.
• You can also use straight vegetables if you want on some.
• Put skewers on Bar-B-Q or oven at 375 f.
• Turn and brush with reserve marinade frequently so the chicken doesn't dry out.
• Don't worry if the edges of the vegetables burn a little, it actually adds flavor just keep adding reserve marinade on top of them.
• Cook until chicken is cooked.(cut into to make sure).
• You can also use beef for the skewer if you like (I prefer chicken as the beef tends to dry out abit, plus not low cal.).
• Serve with rice or baked potatoes.
• Enjoy.

TERIYAKI KABOBS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and salt; mix well. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef and turn to coat. Seal; refrigerate for 4-8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
• Drain meat, discarding marinade. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternate meat, mushrooms, green pepper, onion and tomatoes.
• Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting for 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness.
