Directions
Chipotle Chicken Skewers With Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce, This is from Cook’s Illustrated (America’s Test Kitchen) The Best Light Recipe It’s shockingly good The sauce is also fantastic on fish tacos EDIT: THIS RECIPE IS AN APPETIZER It will not magically turn 2lbs of chicken into a full meal for 10 people You may serve it as a main course, but please adjust your expectations or multiply the measurements You will need thirty 6- or 8-inch bamboo (or wooden) skewers for this recipe The cooking time will depend on the strength and type of your broiler Under-the-oven drawer-style broilers tend to take a few minutes longer than in-oven-style broilers A small clove of minced garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon) can be substituted for the garlic powder in the sauce, if desired , used chicken tenders, grilled until they got a nice color, and finished them in the oven I did remove the seeds from the chipotle pepper due to personal taste , Outstanding, just used tenders, didn’t cut them up! used the grill and finished them off in the oven Will be making these again, my better half really enjoyed the dipping sauce
