Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

I am always looking for easy, quick, non-sandwich lunchbox ideas for my girls!   They'll eat just about anything if I put it on a "stick" (aka a skewer)!  These teriyaki chicken skewers are simple and fast and are great hot or cold.

Equipment

  • wood skewers, baking sheet or casserole dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350. 
  • Cut tenderloins in half at an angle and place in mixing bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, and garlic. Add pinch of salt (the teriyaki and hoisin are very salty so you don't need much) and a couple of big pinches of pepper.  You want the sauce to be thick but pourable. If it easily coats the back of a spoon, the consistency is good.
  • Add sauce to chicken and mix until coated well. Take each piece of chicken and thread onto skewers leaving half the skewer exposed on one end (see picture on next step).  
  • Line a small casserole dish with foil and place chicken on pan with skewer ends pointing out.  (See picture)
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
