More Asian Inspired Food

My son Collin found this recipe and asked if I would cook it for him. Of course! I will share it with you.





He found it on the internet and it's called Lemon-soy Skewered Chicken with Hot Dipping Sauce. It's really good! When I get my food truck, I will serve this and call it Chick-on-a-Stick... well, maybe not.

Here's the recipe:
1 stalk fresh lemon grass, tough outer leaves removed, finely chopped
juice of 1 lemon
1 T. soy sauce
1 t. sugar
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
vegetable oil
salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 fresh hot red chile peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 T. rice wine vinegar
pinch of sugar
juice of 1 lemon

1. Combine lemon grass, lemon juice, soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut each chicken breast lengthwise, and add to lemon grass mixture. Let marinate while you prepare dipping sauce.
2. To make the dipping sauce, combine garlic, chiles, vinegar, and sugar in a small saucepan. Add 2 T. water, and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved--do not boil. Allow to cool, then stir in the lemon juice.
3. Thread the chicken lengthwise onto skewers, allowing two for each serving. Heat grill pan until hot. Brush lightly with oil, and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and lightly charred. Serve with dipping sauce. So good!
