Time to fire up that grill for this summery goodness – sweet, savory, sticky chicken kabobs grilled to absolute perfection.

The marinade can be prepped the night before, which means less work when ready to serve. And if you’re using wood skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes in water (overnight is best) as they can burn easily over a hot grill.

I am always partial to chicken thighs as they will yield the most tender kabobs, but chicken breasts can be substituted if needed.

This is best served over a bowl of rice and marinated cucumbers or they can be munched alone as finger food (also equally amazing) with a cold, cold beer.

CAN I USE CHICKEN BREASTS?

Yes, chicken breasts can absolutely be used here but chicken thighs have more dark meat and a higher fat content which will yield juicier, more flavorful kabobs when thrown on the grill.

WHAT CAN I USE IF I DON’T HAVE METAL SKEWERS?

Metal skewers are sturdy and reusable but please note that they will retain heat so please be careful when serving. Wooden skewers can also be used but can burn over a hot grill. I recommend soaking them overnight in water (or at least 30 minutes) prior to using.

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A GRILL?

No grill, no problem. A cast iron grill pan or a large cast iron skillet will work beautifully here, especially during those winter month when it’s too cold to grill out!

The secret to this is using leftover dried out rice (brown or white). And you can also repurpose any leftover veggies here for a clean-out-the-fridge type meal. If you don’t like carrots or peas or mushrooms, you can leave it out and sub a veggie to your liking like zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, asparagus or even cabbage.

This soup in rotation along with this has been my lifeline since we got back to Chicago. It’s back to 30 degree days (not awful but still soup weather!) so it’s been keeping me warm and cozy until the weather breaks.

It’s also super helpful that this comes together so stinking fast, especially when you opt out of the crispy won ton strips. Although, let’s be honest, the won ton strips are quite wonderful – both for snacking and topping your soup.

This dish is absolutely restaurant-quality, and you can adjust the heat level to your liking – whether you want some extra spice in your life or you want it toned down a bit for the little ones. It is all good.

Kung Pao Chicken - Everyone's favorite chicken stir-fry made so easily right at home! Slightly salty, sweet, sour + spicy. A winning combo!

And don’t worry regarding the Sichuan peppercorns. Now that the US import ban has been lifted back in 2005, Sichuan peppercorns can be easily found at most grocery store chains such as Whole Foods. It lends the most unique flavors to this dish, and I do not recommend any substitutes.

Serve with a bowl of rice, garnished with some green onions and sesame seeds. You’ll be shocked to see how much better it tastes than takeout!

I have been making these sesame chicken bowls all week. Sometimes with lentils, sometimes with brown rice, sometimes with quinoa and brown rice – basically any kind of grain I can find/use up in my pantry.

Because at the end of the day, the saucy bits from the chicken can be served on top of anything and everything. It’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s savory – it is everything you want it to be.

It’s so good – you can serve it up with all your favorite veggies because, well, veggies and greens are good for you. Just be sure to coat them in the leftover sauce and you won’t have any leftovers (even among your picky eaters).
