Ingredients:
- 1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into cubes
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sake or dry white wine
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8-10 skewers
Instructions:
- Mix the soy sauce, sake or wine, mirin, brown sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let them marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Soak the skewers in water for 10-15 mins to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Alternate threading the chicken cubes, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers.
- Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade. Grill the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender and charred. Serve the yakitori skewers hot with rice or noodles, if desired.
