Guava Glazed Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup guava juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the guava juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, then brush the guava glaze over the chicken.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  4. Serve the guava glazed chicken skewers hot off the grill, garnished with chopped cilantro and a side of steamed rice.
