Ingredients

Chicken

  • 8 bamboo skewers (8 inches long)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade and sauce (from 15-oz bottle)

Rice

  • 1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons teriyaki marinade and sauce (from 15-oz bottle)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Soak bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning. In medium bowl, mix chicken and 1/4 cup teriyaki marinade. Cover; refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes to marinate.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. In small bowl, stir all sauce ingredients until blended; set aside.
  • 3
    Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken on skewers. Place skewers on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, cook rice in water as directed on package, omitting butter and salt. Sprinkle chicken with additional chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with sauce and rice.

  • Rich in protein and heart-healthy fat, a little bit of peanut butter goes a long way. Just a tablespoon of this nutty spread can help you feel full, which can keep you from overindulging on other foods.
  • To Broil: Place skewered chicken on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
