Ingredients

  • 30 (8-inch) bamboo skewers

Marinade:

  • 15 ounces teriyaki sauce (no more than 2 grams sugar per serving)
  • 6 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 cantaloupe half filled with melon balls, optional

Directions

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour to keep from burning later.

Mix all marinade ingredients together in a non-reactive container large enough to hold all of the chicken. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips and submerge them in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Thread 1 chicken strip on each skewer towards end of the stick, and line up on a sheet pan. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. Serve by sticking skewers straight out of the side of a cantaloupe half filled with melon balls, if desired.

    Really delicious! As others recommended, I will use low sodium next time (I love salty foods, but my kids thought it a bit much. Serving over plain white rice helped. Oh, and I used regular sugar, added some onion chunks...and grilled them instead of using the oven. The lightly charred taste and grill marks made it even better! So glad to have found this recipe!!

    These have become my fave thing to make! The are so delicious and easy to make. The first time I made them, I used a cheap watery teriyaki sauce and they came out a little dry, but still delicious. Second time I used a thicker teriyaki sauce and they were perfect!

    I served it in the cantaloupe like the recipe states & the kids thought it was a lot of fun to eat the chicken off the stick & the cute balls of melon. I made brown rice & spring rolls also. I also used the low sodium teriyaki. I should mention I thought I would have enough for 2 meals (I bought a bigger pack of thighs then the recipe called for and when I looked it was all gone! Next time I will triple the recipe.
