Kaffir Lime Kabobs




2 - 3 Chicken Breasts (cut into 1 1/2 in wide and the length of the chicken breast strips)
3 Tbsp Kaffir Lime Sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1 Tsp Lime Juice
Bamboo skewers (for grilling)


Cooking Instructions:

  • Place chicken strips in a reclosable bag with Kaffir Lime Sauce and Lime Juice.
  • Let chicken marinade for 3 or more hours (overnight is best).
  • Thread chicken in an "S" shape onto the skewers.
  • Grill on med to med-high for about 3 - 4 minutes per side.  (Try to only turn the meat once during grilling.)
  • Drizzle extra Kaffir Lime Sauce over top of chicken kabobs for extra spice.
  • Serve with a side of fried rice and an egg roll.
These kabobs turned out nice and tender.  They definitely had some kick to it, but  the lime juice helps to balance it out.   My kids don't like "spicy" things, so I used the Chicken and Pineapple kabob recipe for their chicken.

Chicken and Pineapple Kabobs

2 -3 Chicken Breasts (cut into 2 in cubes)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Essential Sauce (Gluten Free)
4 tbsp Pineapple-Yaki Sauce
Fresh Pineapple (cut into chunks)
Bamboo sticks or kabob holders*

Cooking Instructions:
  • Place chicken pieces, oil, Essential Sauce, and Pineapple-Yaki Sauce in a large reclosable bag.
  • Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 6 or more hours.  Shaking and mixing the bag several times during the time period.
  • Slide chicken pieces onto bamboo stick or kabob holders so that chicken pieces are touching.
  • Place a pineapple chunk after every 3 or 4 pieces of chicken.
  • Place kabobs on heated grill and cook until done.  Try to only turn the kabobs once during cooking - this helps retain the juices in the meat.
Optional - Add some bell pepper, onion, or mushrooms to the kabobs for a vegetable option.

*If you soak the bamboo sticks in water for 30 minutes, the ends will not burn off while grilling.
