Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 200 grams Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 120 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked) or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. If needed, cut the pineapple chunks into similarly sized pieces.
In a bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ketchup, minced garlic, and ground ginger.
Add the chicken cubes into the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and pineapple chunks alternately onto the prepared skewers.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the kebabs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Baste with leftover marinade while grilling for added flavor.
While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low, whisking continuously, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the sweet and sour chicken kebabs hot with warm peanut dipping sauce on the side!
