Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch pieces
- salt and pepper, to season
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if using a grill pan on your stove top)
- skewers
- scallions, sliced thinly for garnish
Tomato + Date BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup pitted and chopped dates
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon honey, if desired for more sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat your grill or grill pan up over medium/high heat. Meanwhile, skewer the chicken pieces and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Blend all the BBQ sauce ingredients together in a high powdered blender. Add hot water if it is too thick – this will also help break the dates up a bit.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce over the chicken skewers.
- Grill each side of the chicken for 4 minutes or until there are nice grill marks and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and set on a serving plate. Spoon enough of the bbq sauce onto the hot chicken to nicely cover it. Garnish with scallions if desired.
