Grilled Chinese Take Out -Chicken or Pork and Broccoli

When I saw this Chinese Take Out on a Stick recipe it was written up as shish-ka-bobs, and I do love me some kabobs:@) This marinade is very-very-very good, if you like an oriental flavor profile you'll enjoy trying this recipe. But... I suggest not bothering to make kabobs, toss this lovely little meal right into a hot grill pan and you will be happy! (The broccoli will be happier too.) And if you'd like to, toss some pineapple in there,  and it's very rare that I grill out and don't add some onion too. Use chicken or pork, both work perfectly with this marinade. Add this one to your list of things to try folks, I think you'll like it. As a matter of fact, if we ~ever~ can have Sunday dinners again, this is the first meal I'd like to make for my family.

Grilled Chinese Chicken or Pork and Broccoli-from Taste of Home
3 Tblsp soy sauce
3 Tblsp sesame oil
4 tsp brown sugar
4 tsp minced fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes-I just added a few hearty shakes
1 lb chicken breast cut into 1" cubes
3 C broccoli florets
Onion-optional, my addition
Pineapple-optional, my addition
Serve with rice.

1. Mix first six ingredients in large bowl. Reserve 3 Tblsp for basting.
2. Add chicken to bowl, toss to coat. I like to let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Alternately skewer the chicken and broccoli-if making kabobs.
4. Grill on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until chicken is done. Turn and baste occasionally with reserved marinade.
5. Alternately if using grill pan: Let the chicken marinate, before grilling add the broccoli, onion and pineapple, mix well. Toss into hot grill pan, stir occasionally and drizzle reserved marinade over everything during last couple minutes of cooking.

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
