This recipe has increadable flavor,is easy to make and has been the family for years. The marinade carmelizes on the chicken and vegetables, to give them a very unique flavor that complements the vegetables and chicken flavor. These are very low cal.(approx. 310cal. per 2 full skewers), and are quite filling. They are a summer favorite of our family. We serve them with rice or baked potatoe.You can cook them on the B-B-Q or oven. It sound like a very simple recipe, but the flavor isn't, there won't be any left overs. Try these, you will not be sorry. Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts |
1 (250 ml) bottle , kraft russian dressing. (has to be russian for the flavor) |
1/4 cup soya sauce |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
3 medium sizes onions (any type) |
3 large bell peppers (any color) |
12 wooden skewers |
Directions:
1. Mix the russian dressing,soya sauce and brown sugar in a bowl (no need to heat),I usually make a double batch so there is lots of marinade for the reserve. When well mixed, reserve 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinade to use for brushing on the skewers.
2. Cut chicken breast,onion and peppers into 1 to 2 inch cubes (chicken shrinks quite a bit so don't cut too small).
3. Put chicken into the marinade and refegerate for 2 to 4 hours.
4. Soak wooden skewers for 1/2 hour or so.
5. Take chicken out of fridge.
6. Dip pepper in marinade and push onto skewer to the end, then chicken, then dip onion in marinade and push onto skewer.
7. Repeat untill there is none left, alternating vegtables with chicken.
8. You can also use straight vegetables if you want on some.
9. Put skewers on Bar-B-Q or oven at 375 f.
10. Turn and brush with reserve marinade frequently so the chicken doesn't dry out.
11. Don't worry if the edges of the vegetables burn a little, it actually adds flavor just keep adding reserve marinade on top of them.
12. Cook until chicken is cooked.(cut into to make sure).
13. You can also use beef for the skewer if you like (I prefer chicken as the beef tends to dry out abit, plus not low cal.).
14. Serve with rice or baked potatoes.
15. Enjoy.
