Sesame Lime Chicken Kabobs with Spicy Peanut Sauce



When I think of Summer meals, I think BBQ!  These chicken kabobs are super easy and Delicious! I LOVE playing around with clean eating Asian Cuisine and these kabobs are the perfect fit for a light and tangy summer night dinner.

Sesame Lime Chicken Kabobs with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2lbs. chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 4 garlic cloves peeled & crushed
  • ½ cup Bragg's Aminos
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 4-6 sprigs fresh cilantro, garnish.
  • ½ lime, juiced (other ½ quartered and reserved for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Marinade:
Combine the Braggs, garlic, vinegar, honey, ginger, onions, lime juice, sesame oil and sesame seeds to make a marinade. Pour marinade into Ziplock bag, add chicken and mix around so that all pieces of the chicken are covered in the marinade. Set in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours
Soak your skewers for at least 30 minutes!
Place chicken skewers on grill over medium heat. Cover grill and cook 3 minutes, then turn over the kabob and cook another 3 minutes. At this point check the chicken. To know if the chicken is done the juices should be clear and the center of thickest part is cut (170°F). If not done, continue to cook, at this point I leave the lid open and just turn the kabobs so they are cooked evenly on both sides. My chicken takes about 8-10 minutes.  Remove from grill and serve immediately. Or cover with foil and serve later.

Spicy Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1/8 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Braggs Aminos
  • 2 tsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp coconut or sesame oil
Heat the oil over medium heat, fry the garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add all other ingredients and cook for 2 minutes to let thicken a bit.  For a thinner sauce, add a little water.
