Weight Watchers Chicken Yakitori Kebabs recipe
Makes 30 kebabs

Ingredients
500 g skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 cm cubes
4 large spring onions, cut across into 30 pieces
1 large green capsicum, seeded and cut into 30 small cubes

For the marinade
3 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons clear honey
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons sake or dry sherry


Preparation
1. Place the soy sauce, sake or sherry, garlic, honey, sesame oil and ginger in a shallow dish and stir together to mix.
2. Add the chicken pieces and spoon the marinade over them. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Preheat the barbecue flat plate. Soak 30 small bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes (to prevent them from burning on the barbecue).
4. Thread about 2 pieces of chicken onto the skewers, alternating with one piece of spring onion and one of capsicum, threaded widthways.
5. Grill the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes (or until cooked through), turning from time to time and brushing with the marinade.
