Asian Chicken Skewers with Vegetable Stir Fry

I don't usually promote a pre-packaged sauce as a flavor base for a recipe, but this tastes amazing. Enjoy!!!




Asian Chicken Skewers

Serves 4
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup Ken's Steakhouse Lite Asian Sesame dressing
1 tablepsoon olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Pinch black pepper
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally. When using wood skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Slide meat onto a skewer and discard marinade. Do not over crowd meat. Grill on high for 8 minutes, turning halfway through.


Vegetable Stir-Fry

Serves 4
1 head broccoli, chop off florets and discard stem
20 whole white pearl onions or 1 large onion, cut into strips
1 can sliced water chestnuts
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced
Juice of 1 lemon
pinch pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add broccoli florets and cook until they are bright green. Remove with a slotted spoon into a bowl with ice and water. Once broccoli is cooled, drain ice and water. Add remaining indredients and allow to marinate for 20 minutes, tossing occasionally. Heat a wok or skillet on high heat. Add vegetables and half of juice. Cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook until onions are tender. Serve with Asian chicken skewers and steamed rice.
