Thai cuisine is known for its bold and spicy flavors, and these Thai Pepper Chicken Brochettes are no exception. A simple marinade of garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, and vegetable oil forms the basis of the dish, which is then threaded onto skewers and grilled to perfection. The chicken is infused with flavor and has a slight kick thanks to the addition of crushed red peppers. These brochettes are perfect for summer barbecues or as a quick and easy weeknight dinner, served with a side of rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, mix together garlic, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and vegetable oil.
2.	Add the cubed chicken breasts to the mixture and stir until all the chicken is coated.
3.	Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4.	Thread the chicken onto skewers and set aside.
5.	Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
6.	Grill the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center.
7.	Serve hot and enjoy!

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is a great source of protein, and the marinade adds a zingy flavor without adding a lot of extra fat or calories. Garlic may have antibacterial properties and is also said to aid in digestion, lowering blood pressure and supporting the immune system. Peppers, particularly spicy ones, contain capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and is thought to help reduce pain and swelling.
