Skewered Chicken Strips with Soy-Peanut Marinade
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Servings: 16; 2 Skewers per serving
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about
4 ounces each), all visible fat removed
Soy-Peanut Marinade:
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 to 2 medium limes)
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon reduced-fat peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 medium cloves garlic, minced, or
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Put chicken smooth side up between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a tortilla press or smooth side of a meat mallet, lightly flatten chicken. Cut each piece lengthwise into 8 long strips.
In a small nonmetallic bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Put marinade and chiken in an airtight plastic bag and turn bag to coat. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Meanwhile, soak 32 wooden skewers in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat grill on medium-high.
Thread 1 strip of chicken on each skewer. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve hot or cover and refrigerate to serve chilled.
