A delightful twist on the classic meat-on-a-stick recipe, featuring a creamy peanut marinade and tender chicken skewers.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.
Cutting the chicken into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, minced garlic, and teriyaki sauce. Mix well to create the marinade.
Whisking the marinade thoroughly helps to evenly coat the chicken.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor absorption.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Soaking the skewers also makes them more durable.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers.
Leave a small gap between the chicken pieces for even cooking.
Preheat the broiler and line a roasting pan with foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Preheating ensures the chicken cooks evenly and quickly.
Place the skewers on the prepared pan and broil for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Turn the skewers halfway through cooking for even browning.
Serve the skewers hot, optionally with a side of rice or vegetables.
Garnish with chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro for added flavor.
