Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" cubes)
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) whole water chestnuts
  • 2 cups teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 peanut butter (chunky)
  • 2 dried red chili peppers, crushed (or sub 1 Tbsp of red pepper chili flakes)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 to 2 bibb lettuce heads (leaves separated and washed)
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (sweet rice)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Whisk together the teriyaki sauce, peanut butter, sesame seeds and chili peppers. Divide the sauce into 3 portions. You will use them for a marinade, a glaze, and a dipping sauce.

  • Step 2: Marinade the chicken with one portion for 2-3 hours.

  • Step 3: Skewer 3 pieces of chicken, a water chestnut, and 3 more pieces of chicken. Repeat. TIP: If using thick round skewers, you might split the water chestnut if not careful. Spin the skewer as you push into it so it drills rather than pierces.

  • Step 4: Preheat your grill to 350f. If you are using a gas grill, that's about medium.

  • Step 5: Place the skewers over the direct heat for 2 minutes. Turn them 1/4 turn, and cook another 2 minutes (4 total so far). Turn and cook another 2 minutes (6 total so far). Brush with sauce and cook another 2 minutes (8 minutes total cooking time).

  • Step 6: Remove from the grill. (You could serve these just as kebabs at this point with the rest of the sauce as a dipping sauce.)

  • Step 7: Serve each kebab with a bibb lettuce leaf filled with about 1/4 cup of rice, dice the water chestnut, and top with some rice noodles. Serve with the rest of the dipping sauce.
