As you can probably tell - I seriously over ordered on skinless chicken breasts this month. With that, my students were forced to get really creative with them. While all of their recipes were excellent, I enjoyed these. As an alternative to cooking a whole chicken breast on the grill, you can cut up the chicken into pieces and make kabobs.

Mike's Two Way Grilled Chicken Skewers instructions

  1. Brine four one pound fat free chicken breasts in 35° ice water..
  2. Add 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp granulated garlic and 1 tbsp granulated onion for 2 hours..
  3. Cut breasts into 1.5" even cubes for even grilling..
  4. Separate chicken cubes evenly in to two large Ziplock bags and season. Marinate both for 1 hour or longer. Reserve any oils and Siriacha Chili mixtures for grilling/coating later..
  5. Siriacha Hot Chili Sauce and Siriacha Chili Garlic Sauce pictured..
  6. Chop all desired vegetables..
  7. Soak wooden skewers in water for 5 minutes. Or, you can use metal skewers. Thread chicken on skewers with a 2.5" onion slice in between each chicken cube for flavor and even grilling..
  8. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes [or until juices run clear] and make sure you get a good char on each. Don't over grill tho. Coat with reserved Siriachas and Garlic olive oil as they grill. Know that the Siriacha Skewers will be much hotter with the additional sauce at finish..
  9. Feel free to grill your vegetables as well for 7 to 10 minutes on indirect heat. Just lightly coat with olive oil and listed seasonings if so..
  10. Grill breads until charred. Just coat lightly with olive oil before..
  11. Wrap chicken up in 6"Naan or 6" flour tortillas..
  12. Serve on grilled Naan bread or flour tortillas. Construct with the vegetables you and your guests desire. Enjoy! Especially with ice cold beers in thick frosty mugs!.

You then can thread the chicken pieces along with vegetables onto skewers and cook directly on the George Foreman Grill. Metal skewers need no soaking and can also be threaded far ahead of cooking time. One way to simplify threading and cooking is to use two skewers instead of one. Meat and vegetables secured with two skewers cannot roll or rotate easily on the grill. All kabob items turn at the same time, making cooking even.
