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.

"I tried this recipe last week as I was looking for some lower sodium alternatives for kabobs. It was delicious! My husband deemed it a keeper. This week we decided to do wings and tried it with that. The next night we did baby back ribs and my husband requested I try it with this recipe again and it was excellent with that as well. I doubled the recipe to baste with and make it a little messier on the fingers but oh so good!"
