Chicken Churrascaritas




Source of Recipe


Blue Mesa Grill


Recipe Introduction


Latin inspired and Southwestern flavored, these grilled chicken skewers with ginger-chipotle glaze get their name from a "churrascaria" or Brazilian barbecue.


List of Ingredients




2 lbs. chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
1/2 cup fresh ginger, chopped small
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
3 TB. chipotle puree*
1 cup honey
2 TB. soy sauce
1/2 cup lime juice

Recipe



Using a Cuisinart with the S-Blade, add the chopped ginger, sugar, orange juice concentrate, chipotle puree, honey, soy sauce and lime juice. Puree until smooth. You will be using this to baste your chicken. It should be smooth and slightly thick.

Trim chicken breast of all fat and slice in 2 oz. strips. Thread strips on wooden brochette skewers and grill over medium fire. Baste frequently with the ginger-chipotle glaze. Skewers should take approximately 3-5 minutes to cook.

Brush glaze on skewers one final time when you remove them from the grill.

To make chipotle puree, blend canned chipotles in blender until smooth.
