The Pioneer Womans Hawaiian Chicken Skewers Recipes

HAWAIIAN CHICKEN BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat an oiled grill pan over medium heat.
• Mix the teriyaki and sweet chile sauce in a bowl and set aside.
• Brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill. Brush the tops with the teriyaki-chile mixture and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip. Brush the tops with the rest of the sauce and cook until cooked through, 4 minutes more. Just before they are done, flip them over again for a final minute to caramelize. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Oil the grill pan again if necessary, then add the pineapple and peppers. Cook until nice grill marks have formed, about 2 minutes per side. Remove.
• Add the rice to the bottoms of 4 bowls. Slice the chicken and fan along the edge of each bowl. Fill the open space with the grilled peppers, pineapple and diced avocado. Garnish with the cilantro, sesame seeds and a slice of lime.

MINI HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Add the teriyaki sauce to a bowl and stir in the ginger, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, garlic, lime juice, a pinch of salt and half of the green onions; set aside.
• Using wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least an hour, assemble your skewers. Start with a piece of chicken, then add a piece of bell pepper and a piece pineapple, then repeat until you 2 pieces of each on the skewer. Continue with the remaining ingredients for a total of 30 skewers. Season the skewers with salt and pepper and brush them with the marinade on one side.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Arrange the skewers on the grill sauce-side down (in batches if necessary) and grill for 3 minutes. While the skewers are cooking, brush the tops with the remaining marinade. After 3 minutes, flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and garnish with the remaining green onions.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• To make the peanut sauce, put the peanut butter in a blender with the soy sauce, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, chili oil and lime juice. Add 1/4 cup very hot water as you blend the mixture. Check the consistency and add a little more hot water if needed to make it very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small dish, cover it with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Brush the grill with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill on both sides until the chicken is done in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter and sprinkle on the cilantro.
• Serve the skewers with dishes of the peanut sauce and a good-quality barbecue sauce for dipping.
