The marinade for these low-fat chicken kebabs contains garlic, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. They may be grilled or broiled.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Water, for soaking skewers
  • 1 dozen 10-inch bamboo skewers
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 4 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons English or Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

Preparation:

Soak 12 (10-inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a nonreactive bowl, mix together garlic, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Toss in chicken and stir until well combined. Cover and marinate 20 or 30 minutes, or overnight.

Prepare outdoor grill or preheat broiler to high. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Cook over the hot coals of an outdoor grill 5 to 6 minutes. Or, arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until well browned and cooked through.
