We never grow tired of food on sticks. You can use the skewers for swordfighting, javelin tournaments, or poking unruly cows! Or you can make this yummy dinner. But you don't have to make this difficult choice - just buy lots of sticks. We found this recipe on Cooks.com and made some modifications, (most notably not killing you with chicken-diseased marinade). It is great served with rice, or its a very filling meal even without. This serves 4.
ingredients
1/3 c dry white wine
1/3 c peanut oil
1/3 c teriyaki sauce
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp dried ginger
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1" chunks
1 whole pineapple, cut in chunks
as many sugar snap peas as you will eat
bamboo skewers
instructions
1. whisk together first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Reserve some marinade to brush over finished chicken (about 1/4 c).
Cornelius' tip: See, this is us saving you from certain death! Never eat marinade that your raw chicken has sat in unless you cook it first!
Put chicken and marinade in a covered dish, stir to coat, and marinate 4 hours to overnight.
2. Create beautiful skewers by putting chicken, pineapple, and snap peas on sticks.
Cornelius' tip: Patterns are fun! Try chicken-pea-pineapple, then chicken-chicken-pea-pea, then pineapple-pea-chicken-pea, etc.
Cornelius' other tip: You can use the marinade to brush over the raw skewers now (since you still haven't cooked them).
3. Grill them! It should take about 4 min per side. Make sure to flip so things don't get stuck.
4. Brush them with reserved marinade - now eat them!!!
Yes, these were as delicious as they look.
As for nutritional information, we don't really know what to enter into the calculator. . . We make a full cup of the marinade but the food doesn't absorb nearly all of it, but then how much do we eat? We have no idea. So we are going to have to accept that this is a healthy meal of unknown calories.
