INGREDIENTS

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts 4 (cut into 1-in, 2.5-cm cubes)

wooden skewers 20 (12-in, 30-cm)

Orange or Lemon slices, for garnish

Soy Ginger Marinade

Soy sauce 1/4 cup (65 ml)

lemon juice 1/2 cup (125 ml)

Zest of 1 lemon

Oil 4 tsp

Honey 4 tsp

Green chili 4 (deseeded and minced)

All spice powder 2 tsp

Fresh ginger (2-in, 5-cm peeled and minced)

Garlic cloves (crushed)

METHOD

Combine the ingredients for the Soy Ginger Marinade in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in the microwave on medium for 1 minute, and then stir.
Place diced chicken breasts in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over top and turn the chicken in the marinade to evenly coat.
Set aside to marinate for 25–30 minutes.
Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes while the meat marinates.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, but do not discard the marinade.
Place 5 to 6 chicken cubes on each skewer, leaving a 1∕8-in (3-mm) space between the cubes, and place the skewers on a pan.
Pour the marinade into a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, and then simmer over medium heat until it reduces to half, about 5 minutes.
Set aside for basting. Lightly oil the grill.
Cook the chicken skewers on the prepared grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear.
Baste frequently with the Soy Ginger Marinade reduction until the chicken turns golden brown.
Serve with lemon slices and Soy Ginger Marinade reduction.
