Chicken Kabobs with Thai Peanut Sauce

It is time for a recipe post! On Saint Patricks' Day, I made corned beef & cabbage, paired up with Irish Soda bread, and I made a promise (on facebook) that I would do a post on that...

But I just couldn't. I'm going to be honest & say I'm not a big "corned beef fan". The recipe turned out well, but I just don't love it.

So I decided to throw this one at you all, instead! I highly recommend, as it is amazing. It was my "pre-race fuel" on Saturday night. I paired this with a whole-wheat pasta salad to get my carbs!


  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper sauce
  • 1 thai pepper (or jalepeno), finely chopped
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (I used 1/2 green & 1/2 red to add some color), chopped into squares
  • pineapple chunk
  • Red onion, chopped into squares
  1. Chop all ingredients & place into containers or piles for kabob building
  2. In a 2 quart saucepan, mix P.B., soy sauce, vinegar, & chopped jalepeno until smooth. Stir in sugar & pepper sauce. Cook over med-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Reserve a small amount for a "dipping sauce"
  4. Pour the remaining sauce over your chicken. Allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  5. Build skewers, alternating the chicken, onions, peppers, & pineapple. (***If using wooden skewers, remember to soak in warm water prior to building)
  6. Start gas or charcoal grill. And grill until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Serve with the dipping sauce.



The finshed product. I definitely recommend. I wasn't so sure about cooking with peanut butter -- but it had a very interesting rich taste. Adding a kick of hot-peppers/spice is essential, I believe!

Enjoy!

Yum - that looks delicious. I haven't made skewers before, but now that I have access to a grill I want to. They are so good!

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...
