PREP TIME: 3o minutes

COOK TIME:10 minutes

TOTAL TIME:40minutes

SERVES:5persons

Ingredients:

• 3 medium cloves garlic finely minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
• 3 pounds chicken

Instructions:

• Cut chicken breasts into 1 ½  inch srtips. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl combine all marinade ingredients & stir to combine. Mix until fully combined.
• Add chicken in the bowl. Mix the chicken to evenly coat with marinade. 
• Cover the bowl with foil paper or kitchen towel, place in the fridge for  at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

• After marination, thread chicken in the skewers.

• Heat a grill pan or nonstick frypan to high-medium heat. Spray cooking oil.
• Place skewers on the grill and cook. Cook each quarter for 3-4 minutes. Almost 10-12 minutes to cook chicken properly.
• During grilling time brush chicken with remaining marinade sauce.
• Remove chicken skewers from grill & rest for 2-3 minutes.

• Drizzle with sesame seeds & serve Chicken Skewers.

Notes:

• I am using boneless skinless chicken breasts. Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts.
• If you are using wooden skewers, then soak the skewers for 30 minutes before cooking. It will prevent skewers from burning.
• Bush chicken pieces with marinated sauce or oil. Not the grill pan.
• Vegetables like bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and carrots can be used with chicken. 

Storage tips:

• Leftovers will remain fresh in an airtight container for up to 6 hours in the fridge.
• It's a freezer friendly recipe. Store marinated chicken in a ziploc bag or container  in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
• Reheat: Remove stored chicken from fridge ,rest for a while. Thread into skewers & cook.
