Cerveza-Marinated Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 “ chunks

1 cup Mexican beer

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

2 Tbsp. olive oil (I like to use jalapeno flavored from Temecula Olive Oil Co.)

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. sea salt

Ground pepper to taste

Use Nonstick veg. oil cooking spray

Directions:

Combine beer, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper in a zip-lock bag then add chicken. Squeeze the air out of the bag , seal tight and shake til chicken is completely coated. Place in refrigerator for an hour, turn the bag occasionally.

Transfer the marinade (Not the chicken) from the bag to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 min. Turn off heat.  Place the chicken in marinade and let sit while you soak the wooden skewers in water for 5 min. (If using metal skewers no need to soak J)

Spray the broiler or grill with non-stick cooking spray, before heating. Then heat to high.

Divide the chicken among skewers (placing approximately 2 chunks on each skewer.) Grill or broil the skewers 4 inches from heat until lightly brown, about 3 minutes. Turn chicken and brush with the reduced marinade. Cook chicken until thoroughly done, about 2 min. each turn and brush marinade each turn.

Serve immediately
