Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 pound chicken breast

Main Flavoring Ingredients:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Seasonings and Acidic Components:

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat your outdoor grill to 375°F, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
  3. Season the marinade with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, stirring thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.
  4. Cut 1 pound chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes, ensuring each piece is similar in size for consistent cooking.
  5. Pour marinade over chicken cubes, tossing gently to coat every piece completely and evenly.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for exactly 30 minutes, allowing flavors to penetrate the meat.
  7. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
  8. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small space between each chunk for even heat circulation.
  9. Place skewers on preheated grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  10. Transfer grilled skewers to a clean platter and let rest for 3 minutes before serving with additional sauce.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Marinate chicken longer (up to 4 hours) for deeper flavor penetration.
  • If using frozen chicken, thaw completely and pat dry before marinating to ensure sauce adheres properly.
