Chicken Skewers with Sweet & Spicy Marmalade Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + marinating Broil: 10 min.
  • Yield: 8 Servings
25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • SAUCE:
  • 2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 3/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon thawed orange juice concentrate
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; cut lengthwise into 1-in.-wide strips. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, soy sauce, garlic and pepper; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and discard marinade. Thread two chicken strips onto each of eight metal or soaked wooden skewers; place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Broil 6 in. from the heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute jalapeno in butter until tender. Add ginger; cook 1 minute longer. Reduce heat; stir in the marmalade, lime juice, orange juice concentrate and salt. Serve with chicken skewers. Yield: 8 servings (1 cup sauce).

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Loved this recipe! I have never broiled chicken in the oven like this and was a little hesitant, but it turned out great! Loved the sauce too! Next time I will leave a little of the insides of the jalapenos for more kick! It wasn't spicy at all. Will defintely make again...can't wait to serve it to company!
