Skewered Chicken And Red Onion Food

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. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Divide skewers and onion wedges among serving plates; drizzle with juices from baking dish.

YOGURTY MARINATED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
• Thread the chicken, red onion, zucchini and bell pepper on the skewers, alternating and pushing the pieces close together to fill the skewers tightly. Put the skewers in a baking dish or other nonreactive container that will fit them in one layer. Sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon of the salt.
• Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, mint, honey, cumin, cayenne, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil. Pour all but about 1 cup of the marinade over the skewers and turn to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate the skewers and reserved marinade for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling to return to room temperature.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or a 2-burner grill pan to medium heat and brush with olive oil.
• Remove the skewers from the marinade and brush off the excess. Grill, turning occasionally to evenly char all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the skewers with the reserved marinade as a dipping sauce.

SUNNY'S EASY CHICKEN TACO SKEWERS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange or pineapple juice and hot honey. Set aside.
• For the skewers: Preheat a grill, cast-iron grill, griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, add the chicken, pineapple, jalapeños and oil and toss to coat. Add the elote seasoning and a couple grinds of black pepper and toss again. Add to metal skewers in any order, but I prefer adding all of the same thing on one skewer.
• Cook on all sides until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapples and jalapeños are charred, 10 to 12 minutes, turning every couple of minutes. Brush the skewers with the sauce halfway through and again when they're done.
• Transfer the skewers to a cutting board. Remove the skewers and roughly chop the chicken, pineapples and jalapeños together. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• For the tacos: In a medium bowl, combine the onions and cilantro. Place some taco filling in a warm tortilla and top with some onion-cilantro mixture, a squeeze of lime juice and a few shakes of hot sauce if using.

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.
