Add some heat to your dinner with these tasty chicken skewers that have been marinated in a spicy sauce and come with a cool papaya salad. It has just the right amount of heat and coolness!
Ingredients: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce. 2 tablespoons honey. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. 1 teaspoon minced ginger. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 2 cups shredded green papaya. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint. 1/4 cup chopped peanuts. 2 tablespoons fish sauce. 2 tablespoons lime juice. 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Salt and pepper to taste. Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes.
Instructions: Put soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, vegetable oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Add the minced garlic and ginger. To make the marinade, mix it well. Put the chicken cubes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours after adding the marinade. Toss the chicken to coat it. Make the green papaya salad while the chicken is marinating. Shred green papaya and mix it with chopped peanuts, cilantro, mint, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix it up and set it aside. Warm up the grill over medium-high heat. Put the chicken cubes that have been marinated on skewers made of soaked bamboo. The chicken skewers should be cooked all the way through and have a little char on each side for 5 to 7 minutes. Put the green papaya salad next to the spicy chicken skewers. If you want, you can add more peanuts, cilantro, and mint as a garnish. Have fun with your spicy chicken skewers and green papaya salad!
