Teriyaki Chicken Skewers with Edamame Salad

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts, cut into thick cubes

• Simply Wholesome Pantry Teriyaki Recipe Base

• 1 tablespoon honey 

Salad:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice 

• 3 cups frozen edamame, thawed 

• 2 lebanese cucumbers, diced

• 2 red capsicums, diced 

• 4 spring onions, finely sliced  

• 1 cup coriander, chopped 

• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds 

Dressing:

• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 

• 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil 

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari 

• 2cm ginger, finely chopped or grated 

• 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)

Method:

1. In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with the Simply Wholesome Pantry Teriyaki Recipe Base and honey. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers (make sure skewers have been soaked in cold water for at least 10 minutes).

2. In a large bowl, combine brown rice, edamame, cucumbers, red capsicums, sliced spring onions, coriander, and sesame seeds.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce or tamari, chopped or grated ginger, honey or pure maple syrup, and sriracha (if using).

4. Preheat your bbq, grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook or grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Brush with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.

5. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is well coated.

6. Arrange the Teriyaki Chicken Skewers on a serving platter alongside the Edamame Salad.
