First up in today’s theme, is these delicious easy to make skewers. The kids can help with these and I find that if they are involved in the preparation part they will want to at least try them because they have done some parts themselves. Enjoy
Ingredients
Pineapple Chicken Skewers:
– 2 cups teriyaki sauce
– 2 lbs. chicken breasts or tenders
– 1 can Pineapple Chunks
– Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Coconut Peanut Sauce:
– 1/2 can light coconut milk
– 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon chili sauce
– 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Method
1.Gather your skewer ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2.Begin by slicing your chicken lengthwise and crosswise into 2-inch chunks.
3.Transfer your chicken to a bowl and add the teriyaki sauce. Let marinate for about 30 minutes.
4.Meanwhile, drain your pineapple chunks and place in a bowl.
5.Time to skewer the chicken and pineapple chunks! We alternated meat and pineapple but you can create your own combo.
6.Lightly grease a pan with rimmed sides and place the skewers inside. Bake for about 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. You may need more or less time depending on the size of your chicken chunks.
