Pad Thai Chicken Skewers
If you love the flavors of Pad Thai but want something easy to serve at a party or cook on the grill, these Pad Thai Chicken Skewers are a great place to start.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic grated
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
For the toppings:
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts chopped
- red chilies thinly sliced
- fresh cilantro chopped
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, tamarind paste, peanut butter, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and oil until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Prepare the skewers. Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece so the heat can circulate.
- Grill the chicken. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
- Serve. Transfer to a platter and top with chopped peanuts, red chilies, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
