Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
5-6 green onions
Directions
Combine first 6 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook for 3-5 minutes, until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat; cool. Combine soy sauce mixture and cubed chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least one hour. Meanwhile, cut green onions into quarters so you have pieces about 2 inches long. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 6 chicken cubes and 5 green onion pieces alternately onto skewers. Brush kebabs with marinade. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place kebabs in pan, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through.
Let's Dish
Every Friday, my boys take turns choosing a menu and helping me fix dinner. One of them discovered this recipe when it was his turn to plan and prepare our Friday night meal. I think it was the idea of food on a stick that appealed to him. We learned that Yakitori is a popular Japanese street food, and is usually grilled over charcoal. So feel free to use an outdoor rather than an indoor grill when preparing this recipe. This was simple, delicious, and best of all, fun to eat!

Yakitori is one of my favorites. We love to go out to this little Korean/Japanese place (Kopan) and I love to get this while Matt gets sushi :P. I am so impressed on your friday night meals. What a great lesson for your boys.
