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.

Kids loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Awesome & Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for a Memorial Day picnic. I didn't think I was going to have enough to take to the party because I kept... eating it myself!! I read alot of the reviews before I made it and decided to marinate the chicken in low sodium marinade. I did place the skewers in a cantelope and it looked great Everybody loved it. As a matter of fact I'm marinating it for dinner tonite as I am writing this review! Linda Sewell,NJ 5/27/09Read more

Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These tasted like restaurant quality! I have paid $4.50 for two or three skewers like this in Japanese restaurants. I am also... sensitive to salt, but didn't have a problem with the result after using reduced sodium products. I accidentally left them in the marinade for two days and the flavor was fine, but they took only about 20 minutes for me. Read more

TOO SALTY
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

You really need to enjoy eating very salty foods in order to eat this. I marinated the chicken for 3 hours (way too long as... it soaked up so much of the marinade it tasted like a salty disaster.) If I make it again, I will only marinate the chicken for an hour.Read more

Another easy variation for chicken
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe and amazing taste. I skipped the melon. I included a sweet and sour dipping sauce with mine. The family loved it... and it will become a regular dish in our house.Read more

LOW CARB and LOW FAT?????
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Who knew that healthy food could be so good, great robust flavors and simple to prepare. I modified it by using 4 lbs of... boneless skinless breasts and I filled 8 skewers end to end, instead of 40 or so with only 1 piece on it. I didn't do the melon thing, but a melon or mango salsa would compliment this recipe very well. I marinated it for 2 hours and the family loved it! Its a keeper!Read more
