Ginger-Garlic Grilled Chicken Skewers with Bell Pepper and Cucumber Salad
Ginger-garlic marinated chicken skewers grilled with bell pepper, served with a cool cucumber-mint salad.
Cubed chicken marinated in fresh ginger, garlic, and lime spends just enough time soaking up flavor before it's threaded onto skewers with bright bell pepper and grilled until charred at the edges. A cool cucumber-mint salad on the side balances the char.
We kept the chicken portion sensible per skewer and relied on ginger, garlic, and lime instead of salt for flavor, which keeps this plate genuinely lower in sodium. It's a fun, hands-on dinner that still fits an easy weeknight.
Ingredients
