SKEWERED CHICKEN AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together vinegar, garlic, salt, honey, and oil in a large bowl; season with pepper. Add chicken and onion to the marinade. Let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes.
• Thread 6 pieces of chicken and 1 onion wedge onto each of 4 skewers. Transfer skewers and remaining onion wedges to a nonreactive baking dish; drizzle marinade on top.

GRILLED TANDOORI CHICKEN AND RED ONION SKEWERS WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Put chicken, 1/2 cup of yogurt and spice mix in a resealable plastic food storage bag. Seal bag and turn to mix and coat. Place bag on a plate and refrigerate on lowest shelf for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• To make sauce, stir together remaining 3/4 cup of yogurt, cucumber, mint and salt in a small bowl until blended; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken and onion wedges onto 8 metal skewers, using 4 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of onion per skewer. (If using wooden skewers soak them in water 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.) Coat chicken and onions with cooking spray.
• Grill skewers, turning often, until chicken is no longer pink in center, about 7 to 9 minutes. Serve skewers over couscous with sauce on the side. Yields 2 skewers, 1/2 cup of couscous and about 1/4 cup of sauce per serving.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN AND GREEN ONION SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1. Marinate chicken strips in 1 cup (250mL) of VH Sweet and Sour Sauce for one hour.
• 2. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of chicken, green onion and 2 red pepper squares. Start by piercing 1 end of the chicken strip, slide on a piece of onion, pierce the chicken onto skewer again, then another piece of onion so that the chicken is weaving over the onion. When using the green part of onion use 2 pieces, when using the white use only one piece of onion.
• 3. When the first piece of chicken is weaved onto the skewer place 2 pieces of red pepper squares on skewer then repeat the chicken and onion procedure until it is fully weaved onto skewer. Continue process until all the chicken is used.
• 4. Spray grill with PAM Grilling Spray, heat grill on medium-high and grill chicken skewers while generously brushing with remainder of VH Sweet and Sour Sauce. Grill until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
