How to Make Szechuan Chicken Skewers With Singapore Cole Slaw

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp Szechuan peppercorns (crushed), 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp ginger (grated), 1 tsp garlic (minced), and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes.
  2. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. While the chicken marinates, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 small red cabbage (shredded), 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped).
  4. For the coleslaw dressing, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp sugar.
  5. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw and toss to combine. Set aside.
  6. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  7. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
  8. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  9. Serve the Szechuan chicken skewers immediately with the spicy Singapore coleslaw.
