asian grilled chicken

4 garlic cloves (minced)

1/2 cup rice vinegar1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tsp. Hoisin sauce

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 tsp. sesame oil1 tbs. sesame seeds

1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger

1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 tbs. peanut butter

1/3 cup hot water

4 chicken breasts cut into long strips

12 shish kabob skewers

Soak skewers in water for 20 minutes.

Place peanut butter & 1/3 cup water in a microwave safe bowl 

& heat for 1 minute. Stir until smooth & combined.

Place all ingredients except chicken & skewers 

into a 9x13 pyrex dish. Stir to incorporate.

Slide chicken strips onto the skewers. 

Set them in the marinade & refrigerate for 3+ hours.

Grill chicken skewers for about 7 minutes over medium heat. 

Turn & cook until chicken is cooked through.

trust me, this was super yummy.

i paired the chicken with sesame noodles (via), 

but i think a nice summer salad 

would be a better fit.

the noodles paired with the chicken

was a asian overload!

enjoy!
