  • hot water, if needed
blend all ingredients in a blender - add hot water if the mixture is too thick. Remember to taste test before adding additional liquid aminos. Serve room temperature and store in an air tight container in your refrigerator.

Instructions

  1. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add in the thinly sliced chicken breast. Toss to coat, cover and place in your refrigerator for 30 minutes – 2 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet tray.
  3. Skewer 2-3 piece of thinly sliced chicken breast on each skewer and place on the baking sheet tray. Repeat until all the chicken is on skewers.
  4. Cook for 12 minutes. Turn the broiler on and cook for 2-4 additional minutes until some parts of the chicken are browned. Remove from the oven.
  5. Garnish with the diced bell pepper, peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve with arugula, mixed greens, jasmine rice and/or roast vegetables with a side of the peanut sauce.

Notes

  • To cut the chicken as thin as possible, use a sharp knife. Place 1 chicken breast on your cutting board. Cut it in half with your knife parahell to the cutting board. It makes it easiest if you lightly have your non cutting hand on the chicken to hold it in place and slid the knife back and forth until it is cut in half. Do this again on the two halves. If you have thicker chicken breasts, you may be able to do this a third time. When you have several thin pieces, cut those in half to form thin/narrow pieces of chicken that will fit nicely on a skewer.
  • You do not need to skewer the chicken. I like the look of it and it is an additional step. Having the chicken on the skewers does help to serve them but it does not impact the flavor.
