Kabobs

large whole bone-in chicken breasts (2 lb)

1/4

cup soy sauce

tablespoon vegetable oil

teaspoon packed brown sugar

1/4

teaspoon ground ginger

clove garlic, crushed

Peanut Sauce

tablespoon vegetable oil

small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)

1/3

cup peanut butter

1/3

cup water

tablespoon lemon juice

1/4

teaspoon ground coriander

to 4 drops red pepper sauce

Remove skin and bones from chicken. Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. (For easier cutting, partially freeze chicken about 1 hour.) In large glass bowl, mix chicken and remaining kabob ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Soak 14 to 16 bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion in oil, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until blended (sauce will separate if overcooked).
Set oven control to broil. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Thread 4 or 5 chicken pieces on each skewer. Brush chicken with marinade.
Broil chicken with tops about 4 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes. Turn; brush with marinade. Broil 4 to 5 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining marinade. Serve chicken with sauce.

Did You Know?

When the family asks, "What's for dinner?" you can answer, "Chicken kabobs!" This recipe serves 4 people as a main dish.

Success

Instead of marinating chicken in a glass bowl, you can use a self-sealing plastic bag. Place sealed bag in a shallow dish (a pie plate is perfect), and set in refrigerator. Massage the bag every so often to make sure all of the chicken is coated. And when you’re done, just throw the bag away!

Time Saver

Shave prep time by using about 3/4 cup of store-bought peanut sauce—found in the ethnic-foods aisle—instead of the homemade version.
