Ingredients
Chicken + Marinade:
- 4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Avocado Cucumber Salad:
- 2 medium avocados diced
- 1 1/2 cups English cucumbers diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- pinch of kosher salt
Serving Suggestion:
- 4 cups cooked rice of your choice
- lime wedges
Tools:
- wooden skewers or metal skewers
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into large chunks and place in a large bowl with the soy sauce to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Optional Soak for Skewers: If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Make Sauce: Put all of the Bang Bang Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Make Salad: Add all the Avocado Cucumber Salad ingredients to a separate bowl; toss to combine. Set aside.
- Skewer Chicken: Gradually remove one piece of marinated chicken at a time from the marinade and place it on a skewer. Continue adding chicken pieces to a skewer until it is mostly filled. They can be touching but not too over-crowded. Continue this process until all of the chicken has been added to the skewers.
- Grill Chicken: Bring the grill to a medium-high heat and make sure the grill grates are clean. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and cook the chicken skewers over direct heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F at the thickest part (use a meat thermometer). Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy a chicken skewer with some of the avocado cucumber salad on rice and a drizzle of bang bang sauce on top!

Notes
- Chicken: option to swap out the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You may need to buy more than 4, since they are typically a smaller size.
- No Grill? No problem, simply use a grill pan on the stovetop or cook the chicken bites in a large skillet.
